i don't use that trick anymore tho since it can glitch you're camera
only english
f
It's too cryptic
Ok
a good event should have some details scattered around the map that you notice while playing the game regularly. Like the mayak levers in map 1
nope
Not usually, not sure why it's happening in that video
Maybe its an Xbox thing
He plays on xbox
it's random
it rarely knocks you
your camera can get bugged by that
you have to go into a closet to fix it
weren't there hidden messages that give you clues about the event on every map that you see with the camera?
there we're some that tell you baggers description from the tutorial
yes, no one is gonna stumble upon those in a normal match though lol
true
uff. sorry about that
Yeah sorry for ur loss, I had one pass away a few months ago and had him for 15 years
what do you guys think which pants look better with this combo? the santa pants or the 2019 pumpkin pants?
I like both 🗿
if you had to decide?
Probably the 1st one
I have a cool combo suggestion
Alien head with the cloths of the blue pumpkin head
idk if i would like that cuz i don't really like the alien head
Oh
You have a lot of neighbor skins
For scary neighbor I only have the blue pumpkin head one
this
Looks pretty cool
these pictures are from like a month ago so now i also have the 2020 wolf neighbor
i also wear this sometimes
the fur kinda ruins it tho
Were-pumpkin
this is my main combo
I wonder if the were-wolf skin was a reference to Betrayal at the Mansion or if they just added it because of the Halloween theme
could be possible
i like that they remade the werewolf neighbor
in the paranormal update
looks a lot better imo
yes
what do you guys think is the best skin for every class?
for me it's chicken bagger, elf brave, neighbor mask detective (for full set it's the detective skin for the... detective?), rocket inventor, witch leader and ninja scout.
for neighbors 2019 pumpkin neighbor (spy head comes in really close tho), scarecrow clown, cyborg butcher, the new ghost skin (idk what to call it) and for guest it's where he wears black
Is a list out there with every skin?
Bagger is a tough one, he has a lot of great skins
I like Kenny bagger, vampire detective, witch leader and summer Scout
Pumpkin Krueger scary neighbor and that's really it for me
I don't rlly okay inventor
I honestly think the cosmetics have gotten a little more boring recently, I thought most of the halloween 2019, christmas 2019 & easter/summer 2020 cosmetics were really good
That's why majority of my list is from 2019
Nowadays I feel like some of the costumes are a little uninteresting, like look at the halloween 2022 cosmetics.
The guest render is sick
(Default guest)
The neighbor skins are pretty cool, but the ghostbusters thing is a bit boring
Too much gray 💀
yeah i also don't like how they're all ghostbusters
And only Ghostbusters
i think the last update which had really good skins was halloween 2020
Lack of variety, yeah I didn't buy a single one of them lol
That being said I still want full elf outfits for the skins that didn't get them in 2019
Paranormal skins were alright, I personally love zombie scout
same only bought the neighbor skins
Zombie Scout & that one ghost skin are the only cosmetics I got from that update (i think)
also am i the only one who thinks that all of the animal skins but chicken bagger suck? (shark brave, owl leader, monkey scout etc.)
Alright here's my favorites
Kid classes:
Bagger (Zombie or Raincoat I can't decide lol)
Brave (Pirate)
Detective (Wizard)
Leader (Witch)
Inventor (Leprechaun or Steve)
Scout (Zombie)
Neighbor Classes
Scary (2021 Werewolf)
Clown (Scarecrow)
Butcher (Hotdog Vender)
Ghost (Genie)
[Not going to rank Guest yet since he only has one alternate costume]
The name of the skins sound nice
Especially the skins on kids?
maybe
What kid do you this is the best?
might switch out steve fo the leprechaun
I'm not gonna fish for a picture of every skin on my list but 5/10 of the skins mentioned are from this
Why does the lighting on the new renders suck so much
They ruined their facial expressions too
I guess the paranormal update had the most good skins overall for me
Yeah paranormal skins were great
Then they got, boring
Wow ghost busters, so intetesting
I think it's a good set, but it's not worth buying every one
the enthusiasm on the new detective render is crazy
Ikr
Seriously why did they change the renders
And lighting
And facial expressions
Now the in game skin icons suck too
Trinity literally t-poses in her icons now
You can tell they got a bit lazy towards the end with the Halloween update, especially in decor
Nice
Literally hire me Holo, I decorated my monstrosity of a map in just a few days, you guys had months.
Decor hasn't been the greatest
There isn't a single cosmetic in this image that I dislike
wish they would return those castle walls at halloween, I liked those
The skins were so vibrant
didn't really make sense but they were cool
Halloween this year felt empty without them 😔
Pretty sure it was only the 2020 update
and thats the only time we got easter skins
Easter doesn't get as much love as it deserves
100% agreed
Golden egg coins :(
I think it's up there with Halloween in Christmas (As a holiday)
Easter 2020 was honestly the best update SN got imo
Christmas decor usually gets less attention than Halloween, and Halloween sucked this year anyway
there's a lot of possible easter decor they could do
yeah
And the withered textures on the houses
All gone
Xmas never got themed paintings, or furniture
Where is the consistency
This year better be the most christmassy update in history I stg, with snow, tons of decor, a half decent christmas tree, EVERYTHING. We NEED IT after last year
Snow will be gone probably 🥹
the decor we're getting this year is the tiny christmas tree in map 4 getting watered
For the dumb event
This event better be worth it
Also the one who stole the snow is literally just butcher 💀
It's just a butcher skin
It looks like Christmas is going to be more of a side theme this year
Dressed as a villan with a light bulb on his head
I think they're going all out with the super hero thing
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I like it when they branch out with the themes, just isn't christmas-y ofc
Butcher stole the snow, so intetesting
Wrong, the masked menace stole the snow
So true I wonder who that could be
Hmmmm
Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be ghost, you know, the one who messes with the lights? Not butcher
I'd rather butcher get another costume than scary again
If they don't make a guestmas skin I will scream
By the way just adding to whole Halloween gets more attention in updates
makes sense ig
Halloween updates also get new neighbor classes
the very least they can do for a Christmas update this year is a Guestmas skin
I'm really hoping they give us a good amount of content this year, last Christmas was so disappointing
Omg I haven't played this in so long do many people still play ...I used to have it on switch but couldn't find many players
But I have ps5 now so might find more?
Pretty sure console is fairly popular, there are only 450 people on Steam at the moment, though I suppose thats a lot for SN
2020 christmas had snow at least :)
We're basically getting two Xmas updates this year, the random one in July it was I think, and then this month (hopefully)
I actually briefly started playing SN again at the start of July with friends and when they did the whole Christmas in July thing I immediately stopped again lol
what do you guys think was the most polished update?
for me it was the spring update probably
Put a suggestion up in #1047330977103482932 for the guestmas accessory because I realized no one had officially requested it yet, hopefully the devs hear our cries
hmm, don't know
Christmas 2020?
it came to Steam and Xbox at the same time and I don't remember it having any annoying bugs
Xmas 2019 is the one update I didn't play lol
even with Halloween 2019, I played 1-2 matches
Witch leader and also Cow boi leader
I love the bunny leader and farmer scout skins
Witch, Postman, Zombie, and Cowboy are all great skins
Meant to say cow boy leader
I love the post man one too... which one is the zombie one though?
guest
more like a zombie mummy
True
the leaping skinwalker
well yeah but zombie is the set it's from
plague doctor guest🙏
🙏
🙏
They should make the guest Christmas skin have lights strung around him to his little bag he wears on his back
Hoping we get guest with a candy corn beak next year
Ooo that'd work nice
forgot he had the bag
Personally I like default guest over the other skin they released this year
So I hope we get a good guestmas skin
Do you guys say skins or avatars
I'm a minecraft player so I use skin for all games
i like the other one more because it has more style and it even helps you because in the dark it's really hard seeing a guest with that cosmetic
oh i also have an idea for a clown skin
ringmaster clown
would look cool i think
True, but it looks not as good imo
But yes you do blend in
Also in the day time this skin would work so well in the dark spots since day time is so broken
The shadows are like pitch black
yep
Skins
That could be cool
btw i think the catch kids that are lost in smoke quest is broken
I wrote an entire neighbor class concept a while ago lol
like i do what it says but it always says that i only caught 3 in smoke
I just checked sn on steam db and... we might get the christmas update soon!
I'm expecting there to be an update on Dec 11th for AS episode, dunno if that means Christmas update will be on the same day tho
11
I've heard we might get it sometime before the 11th so you can watch the cartoon premiere in game or somethin'
yeah
11th 5pm cet
I doubt the update will release at literally the same time of the cartoon, most likely a day before
that'd be tomorrow obviously
I feel bad for the playstation players
its also on xbox
yea
Xbox didn't look nearly as bad
some people say
playstation is horrible
on switch its more fun
because it doesnt freeze as it does on ps
i agree it does freeze but just not like playstation
One of the times I was playing secret neighbor on switch I went into the settings menu and I read something as Graphics: Off
yes
you playing a prototype then lol
it didn't actually say that but I found it funny
hmm
it's pretty accurate!
yea i just find switch more playable
i have over 950 hours on playstation
cant believe it
wow ok
Good job!
I have such a love hate relationship with daily quests
I'd rather have the perfect trio that you got instead of mine tho 💀
!sndaily
(When I say this im asking what the daily shop is)
(Honestly I wish this was a command)
this is actually a good idea
SN ROBLOX is gonna get canceled, I can feel it.
Hi I was gonna ask something, where can i watch the episode in-game?
on the tv
Indeed! It should hopefully release within the next couple weeks.
Anybody know what the "Random players" option does in the custom game settings???
There’s an option to join a random custom game, if you check the random players box they have the chance of joining your game when joining a random game
Oh, thanks
I have not played sn in a long time
So i forgot what the settings for the custom game did
Well that's quite the predicament
Unfortunately I don't think there is any help to give, just enjoy the view and wait for the match to end 
yeah... I tried transforming into a chair as clown and climbed up a wall, then transformed back lol
view is nice, I must say 
Anyone want to help me get lucy's violin?
Spooky
mhm spooky neighbor
anyone wanna help me?
tryin to re-create this conjcept art in the LE
dont have the patience atm though lol
gramy
what?
no it has been there since the guest update came out
it's because secret neighbor's 3rd anniversary
When the new christmas season will come?
Ya
Played my first match today. Love the game.
Weird i never noticed it honestly
Is there a place to report cheaters here, or does that need to be done via another method?
Thank you!
What should I do here? I carried 4 items for 120 sec but nothing..
Did you complete the match? Or did you leave before the end?
so you need to win as well ?
Not necessarily win but if you leave after being caught for example you won't get a penalty but you will lose any daily quest progress
I've completed the quest before so it does work
My best advice would be to just reattempt and see if it continues not working?
ok
I won and worked
Ayy good job! I haven't even looked at my dailys yet, I just hope they are do-able
Oh thank god
Play 3 matches as Detective and get Neighbor in one of them
pretty good
I just legit had the weirdest match ever, this one person in my game is using that infamous voicemod filter to speak and then there is another person who is just telling them to shut up 🥹
its not easy now lol
im only getting map 5 and the worst teammates
3 times map 5 in a damn row
so people playing this again? i haven't played since last year
there are always people playing lol
a year ago it was kinda dead for me
well then
redownloading now.
Tbf there was a dry patch where like nobody played due to the lack of updates, but the game is back on track now! 
On that note I just picked up a puddle of glue
i think it's because of the free weekend update
has it crossplay ?

nope
Free weekend + 75% off autumn sale + 80% off HN sale
glad to give this game another go
I've been playing almost daily for like a month and a bit, and for the most part I've had a lot of fun
Plus the Winter/Christmas update should hopefully arrive any day now, there was a steam db release candidate update yesterday so 🤞
how much time left until the featured items are gone?
there are some stuff i wanna buy
Oh wow, i still have this lol
Oooh damn the tB hat
thats some good discounts
I was saving my coins for the xmas cosmetics but I might have to start buying out shops now if they're that cheap
i need to buy that leader skin
its a full set and its only coins
how long does the featured items last?
I cannot confirm this but at least a day
wait is the scarecrow neighbor out??
Indeed
Now would be a good time to buy outfits since the shop is "broken". Anything from any season could come.
The guest neighbor then yes
The shops recently have been really good
Btw i met you in a match, i was the detective
Oh were you in my last one?
Ahh, yeah that match was so stressful 😭
Yeah it was stressful
Also they really need to fix certain item spawns in this game
this one person in a match i was, was disguised as a kid and he kept hitting me with a flashlight then last min transformed and grabbed me like... you made it so obvious who you were.
Players like that frustrate me so much, I know it's a fairly good strategy but it truly depletes the tiny remainder of stealth in this game
true
how does SN start for you? Steam error for me
starts up just fine for me
yeyy i got secret neighbor :D
nice
somebody wanna rate my clown combo?
It's spoopy
you like it?
me too
what
@wispy karma another one of these messages 
Don't mind him, he's just sending those everyday with a few other fellows.
was just confused

Some dude forced me to do it
Not my fault
His discord tag is Curious Clown#8003
that guy tried adding me also. i just blocked him
Something is up with that scammer
...oh lawd
if you receive one. block them. you are putting your account in danger
This isn't right
My game got crashed and now my whole game îs restarted
Cool
Yes it is..? You aren’t being forced to do anything. Just block him
how did i get this many?? i thought the max per round was 50 for caught players coins as neighbor
it goes up till 100
oh i didnt know but i usually get 50 most rounds if i catch all the kids, why is it more this time?
if you play with more people in custom games you get more
this was a regular online game
anyone tryna hop on?
There was a hacker
How do I access the level editor?
there was a hacker
Please help me
How do I access the level editor?
What do you play SN on
It's only on PC
In the app xbox?
what is the best neighbor class?
In the app xbox or steam?
Steam
do you know his username? if yes just report him at #sn-player-reports
no i don't
well we cant do anything lol
Yessss!
I finally did it!
It is so hard to get into this secret room
but I have now unlocked lucy's bracelet
I finally bought the easter skin for leader and got the shark head for brave
Now im broke in coins
The Easter skins are back?
When you own all the skins and can’t get discounts 😔
Anyone up for a game
I need a bit of help
i have been waiting for the easter skin for a long time now it finally came 🥹
You gotta hurry, you don't have too much time left
Yo I’m on Xbox anyone up for a little game ??
best clown skin.
Wanna play secret neighbour together I’m on Xbox
can't cuz i'm sick
guys how can i watch welcome to raven brooks S01E01 2 hours early?
im just curious
hey guys is easter skin for leader good choice?
I dig it. Major Coraline vibes.
ben
counterpoint:
probably my 3rd favorite. i use some pieces from it for my clown combo
jester is still 2nd best imo
i honestly really hate the lion skin imo
the camo skin for clown is ok ig for a reskin
same for the denim outfit
like the denim outfit doesnt even have a head piece for clown
and you got like the 2 other clown outfits and they're pretty cool, still fits the whole clown theme for the class
is sn free on ios?
it is
atleast from what i can remember
i dont have an iphone to play sn but i play on pc anyways
e
depends on your playstyle
which you would recommend for a noob?
probably butcher or guest
butcher has a hook which new players might use
and guest can leap and stun players
guest also can sense players
which maybe can help the newbies to understand where is everyone without predicting
maybe
For new players I'd probably say Scary or Guest, with the Scary Neighbor you can set up traps and disguise as other players, and if you're getting beat in combat and take damage then you can use rage to gain a short period of speed, strength & invulnerability to fight back or escape. And yeah, Guest is explained above.
No one knows yet, but there has been speculation that SN will receive an update today which adds the AS episode into the game. Whether this could be in the form of a cinema reel, or something else. Just theories though, we don't know yet.
would be funny if it was in the brawl mode
Only issue is that brawl is dead for the most part
maybe there could be a new tab to watch welcome to ravenbrooks in a small room or a room that resembles a cinema
That is sort of what I would expect
i would be dissapointed if ravenbrooks episode was played on the main menu
it would be great if ravenbrooks episode was played in the main menu and this together, so late people wouldn't miss atleast some parts
mime clown is underrated
try to verify the integrity of the gamefiles
or maybe
its the problem of the appid?
idk
can i just play private game with my friends secret neighbor
yes
if they have secret neighbor too
you can create a custom server/match
to invite them
I know but thank you
your welcome
Can we get in the regular game sometime in the future
How would you watch S1 EP1 of welcome to raven brooks in Sn
Film real, tvs, or other??? Idk
we dont know but we kinda theorized how will it be
for me 799
thats weird lol

is there an new update??
i didnt get any updates
there is nothing new
it's for the AS episode, that's why there's nothing new
i got an update
oh well
its so funny it just popped up
lol
well time to see
idk
ima close google to lower the risk of getting crash
what did they add?
i dont see anything in the menu
maybe reel is in the room where you can put that reel in?
cinema room
I checked cinema room and didnt spot it but I can check again
I imagine they might have removed old reels if they are using a new one for AS?
probably
wanna search together?
guys open level editor they added a new movable object
Is it just me or are these screens REALLY white
Bagger problem on İOS💀
its been there for years

Thank you very much for your interest
i wont fully watch it for no spoilers
What are the best christmas cosmetics and how they look like?
i dont think cosmetics affect the game
everyone has diffrent preferences of cosmetics
I kinda wish cross-play worked with every system and not be limited like that
i imagine we would find more full games otherwise
I think so too
8PM? its only like 10:09am for me
im starting to feel dissapointed
curious clown added me
who is that
bruh moment
hes not a bot but yes hes curious clown
He tried adding me yesterday but i blocked him right away.
well looks he is sending chain letters tbh
"send this to so and so or something bad will happen"
he said this
oof should talk about this in off-topic
Do u watch in the episode in the film reel room in SN????
idk
wait n see i guess
I keep on getting "Authentication Error" in SN
i managed to get it after a little grinding finally
@velvet hedge
I hope this is where it is
any reels nearby?
no (:/)
dam

i guess
i might look for it on youtube later tbh
I just dont wanna go on a hunt for it
nothing is updated

mmmm i got penalty
bruh Hn2 just needs to bring back the mall and it'll be great for both games
I love SN lol
uhh the audio is delayed
i didnt had those. i play on medium settings i think
Hey, how do I play with my friend together?
Do we really have to create a lobby and hope for other to join?
Or can we not create like a lobby in which we can click on "fast game"
how did this get past test screening
i think they only gave it to pc just like level creator
its like pc gets all the cool stuff and console players dont
void door 2
hotfix when
god
how am I supposed to read lol
i think im at the wrong room 🤨
Yeah they need to put a hotfix out
true
does it play in there too?
yeah
it probably plays in the neighbor room too, but all i can see from outside is the flashbang raindrops
the sofas here also work
I liked the show it was great are they gonna do this every episode?
probably not
or probably they will
i left the theatre because i noclipped into backrooms and now i got a penalty ;-;
outside tour
Join custom game (name = Yesss) no pass
It is everyone
seems like it's cpu-dependent. Got lot's of "jpeg" myself on laptop, but it went smooth on fresh pc
lol
yeah, that has happened to me too
UMMMMM
oh hell nah
Does urs also lag? My game has lagged the last 2 weeks. The game thinks im using a controller
Join custom game (name = Yesss) no pass
hello
hey
omg
anyone wanna play
nice coins amount!
Hold on they back in sn?
i just find out this game is on mobile also. cool
could have added more but no only popcorn
i guess this is proof they didn't forget about le which is nice
maybe
lets just hope they at least add dirt
This gives me motivation to add a room using that object to one of my maps
🥹
Memories
this update isn't out on console unfortunatly
Hi. I was at the end of the game, approaching escape the museum section and it crashed and I no longer have the ability to Continue saved game, which is odd. I only have the option to begin New Game. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
No secret neighbor
😭
Hey 🙂 anyone wants to play?
Anyone up for a round or two?
didnt they say we'd be able to watch it on secret neighbor too?
some people were doing that
Hello
Anyone, wants to play?
I’m playing secret neighbor rn and I pressed find game and no one is showing up
Anyone want to join
Umm guys
So is the hello neighbor tv director cut available on sn?
Yes, it is.
The ability to be trapped in the basement since that's where he is in SN
lol
anyways
i think one of the nicky's ability would be double jump
from the fear level in hello neighbor
Okay even if Nicky was a class in SN in no way should he have any of the HN1 abilities
then what would his abilities be?
maybe he would be able to sense the neighbor in some way
Nicky as a class wouldn't work, it's been suggested so many times but it just doesn't make sense
then stop theorizing
i had nothing to do soo
I prefer thinking of kid class concepts in general, there is a lot of opportunity for more classes
im bored
theorizing can be fun but sometimes it hurts when you think of something so good and then realise there is a VERY low chance it ever gets added to SN
i mean with the vr game and the animated series basically retconning sn's lore there's a higher chance that new kid classes will come to sn
I do believe in the Halloween special something along the lines off 'We've got more neighbors on the way, and maybe something else' was said
maybe a new neighbor class?
Well we're getting more neighbor classes that was confirmed, but it sounds like a hint to a kid class
i kinda want new kid classes that break the rules of their basekit movement and stats
like introducing new movement mechanics for them or a class that is more stealthier than the rest but weaker in fights
i actually have an idea for a kid class
but that would be unbalanced
anyways
my idea of the kid class is:
I want more stealth like classes in SN, the last three neighbor classes we got are a lot more combat based
ghost being the worst one
Camouflager
has an ability to turn into props just like clown neighbor
she wont be detected by the scanner if she crouches
she is mostly weaker than the other classes and could be captured by neighbor X1.5 faster
Not the worst but it's simply too similar to Clown, I'd want more unique traits
she has like %-50 less health than other kids
yeah i guess
its a shame that SN is now fundamentally harder to make a stealth game because of some of the current classes and mechanics
I do find it a bit disappointing how stealth-lacking the game is now
if your neighbor you may as well just down each kid with an object and catch them one by one, there is no advantage to playing sneaky
like i think there should be more hiding spots in the game while also reverting the lighting to be like how dark it was during the amusement park update
the "improvements to the sound system" thing on the 2023 roadmap does give me hope though
ive been begging for sound cancellation through walls to be a mechanic for ages, if that's what it is then uhhh i think this game would be a lot better lol!
maybe they can disable pinging the neighbor when getting caught
i hope its similar to how sound works in phasmophobia
I like the idea of darker lighting but as I mentioned before, I didn't like how saturated it was. I loved the feel of the Halloween 2019 lighting with how pale/white it was
and voice chat in general
Strongly agree, they could definitely do something similar
cause they both run on the same engine i think
Yeah, they're both Unity
this is less of a specific idea and more of a general idea i have, but i think more incentive to split up would improve the game massively
every good player huddles together because there's no pressure under the time limit, with all the skips and how easy parkour is, you can practically be glued to each other and you're still gonna win games
yeah you never see good players split up since there's no reason to
at the most you'll maybe have a detective go off on his own to search for keys while everyone else fights
but anyway i think getting players to split up more means:
less skips on maps, (duh) slower player movement speed, (controversial) and more randomization on the maps so you don't know what to expect each time, thus slowing down the game and making splitting up more optimal
PLEASE can we get the alpha movement speed & animations back omg 🙏
and yeah remove shortcuts, more randomization for maps (blocked doors), etc
yeah i think i suggested this before but, having varations to maps like differently furnished rooms, altered layouts, and different exteriors to some parts of the house
like not too much to the point where the theme of the map gets lost but
I would love a sixth map that almost randomly generates rooms and layouts and all that
it also seems like the jump height was lower back in pre alpha times
while i was watching some youtube videos i noticed that the players couldnt even jump over the fences in the foyer
The alpha movement in general was far more balanced
they said something about that in an old producer's update during the alpha days
oh yeah and i know everybody reflects on it as a bad mechanic now but i think we need more punishing fall damage tbh
maybe make fall damage a custom game setting
I've seen people say that fall damage was broken in the christmas alpha but I think it was at its most balanced back then
it was really punishing but yeah i do agree on that
An idea I might put in suggestions is
by having 3-4 different %'s of how much damage it would take
I think it would be cool if they gave all neighbors a new way to play stealthily
yeah
its perhaps a little overpunishing, but since we're discussing SN being a much slower paced game i think its a fair amount
by allowing the neighbor to board up drawers/cabinets/lockers (like seen in the summer beta trailers)
give crowbars a use
Exactly, there are three tools in game and only one of them have a use
also reduce the spawn amount of chocolate bars, saucepans, and power milks in the match
I was literally just thinking of that omg, they really need to make them super limited
oh yeah speaking of boarding up stuff, secondary objectives for the kids pls?
stuff i have in mind would be maybe having to use the crowbar on the basement door, having the team gather resources around the house to make a basement door keycard, etc
they spawn way too often
with this in mind maybe have like an objective list for the kids and neighbor, the neighbor being able to see the kid's progress as the match continues
imagine having moments like the card game where everyone gathers around in a room and discusses who should grab the basement keycard
A few neighbor improvements I can think of
-infinite health/no longer killable (rifle now just stuns for longer)
-ability to block with his hands to avoid stun
-more neighbor gates for blocking off routes
-remove sprint stamina to allow more chases
-ability to break windows by jumping into them
anything else?
they could also repurpose the power up machines from early fg as like another objective for the kids
I'm generally thinking that the neighbor needs to be more than powerful enough to easily take on 2-3 kids, but have more trouble with a full group (combat wise)
maybe just increase the health generally since i do think having infinite health would be too op for the neighbor
Fair enough
neighbor being unkillable sounds good in a vacuum, but also i think that would encourage the neighbor to just stay in neighbor form for the entire time, we need more reason for him to stay disguised
Yeah I suppose it might be better to just increase the health
neighbor should still absolutely be dominate in fights, but obviously less powerful during the chase so there's more reason to stick in disguise so you can go for ambushes via earning trust
basically the generators would be in their spots like in early fg but it requires 1 kid to power up but up to 3 kids can power it up faster to unlock more areas in the house and also turn on the lights in the area, if the required amount of generators are powered then a gate blocking the door would be opened
they should remove the transformation sound and reduce the effect for it aswell
okay that sounds way more interesting than keycards
I have always wanted to see a new system that replaces keycards and that sounds like a really good one
i also had another idea where the neighbor can shut off the power and it requires 2 generators to be turned on in a small amount of time, but if 2 kids are still alive then only 1 needs to be powered on
And the generator locked areas would be on like, proper lockdown, so all the windows are barred until its opened
Another great idea
by the same margin, the animation for opening cabinets and drawers and such should take longer
there wont be just 2 generators tho maybe like 3 so the neighbor cant camp one to make the kids unable to turn on the power back
maybe have a small animation for search the cabinets and drawers or smth
yeah all you need is to hear the sound cue for a key or a keycard (would it be controversial to say those sounds should be removed too)
i think those sounds should be removed but keep the small glow when hovering over one
yeah that's what i was just thinking
its fine to keep some indicator, but it should have you actually pay attention to your surroundings instead of being a subconscious sound cue that you dont really need to think about
I was thinking the other day, what if you didn't know when the basement was opened unless you were paying attention to like a specific indicator or something?
also another idea is that if the neighbor camps the basement when the basement has been opened and there's only 1 kid left then a hatch should open or another exit somewhere in the map similar to dbd
eh i think a global alert for the basement being opened is fine, i like the intensity it caused back in early days (which is something i think is severely lacking now)
but the sound for unlocking keys def should be quieter or only heard by people in the basement room
however if the main basement still is locked then the hatch would still spawn when there's 1 kid left but locked with a random colored key
i missed how the lighting would get paler when the basement door is open
I want the lighting to look like this
yeah and how the ambience tracks kicked in almost immediately, now its so.... relaxed? things dont really start feeling intense until there's like 15 seconds left on the clock
yeah
oooh yeah i like how this looks a lot
maybe instead of just putting the old ambience back in they should remaster it to fit with modern sn
while still keeping the tone of the old ambience but more fitting for the current state of the game
i am of the unpopular opinion that neither of the ambience tracks really work for current SN so yeah i agree w that
I dont mind if its tweaked but I just think the current ambience doesn't fit
i loved how the old ambience wasnt too loud when it got to the 3rd layer
it worked great during halloween 2020 but around summer 2021 it started feeling off
it was still fairly quiet but not too quiet where its unnoticeable
maybe with the new improvements to the voice chat every people can have radio to talk if they are far away
radio will be toggleable and will fill up the secondary item slot
their voice can be muffled
also im back
i dont like the idea of a radio or a walkie talkie
Literally these two tracks are just the BEST omg
why though?
if you drop the radio they wont be able to hear you
and it will fill the secondary slot
when you hear these two tracks stacked, you know things are about to go down
yoo
Another image of the lighting btw, I saw the lamp and just thought 'WOW'
the voice chat in this game already sorta has a problem with being able to hear people from just about everywhere, so having a dedicated mechanic for that would not be good
that is the problem we are actively looking to solve and a radio / walkie talkie would amplify it rather than solve it, at least in my opinion
Voices should be muffled from outside the room and if your 1 or so rooms away then it should be silent
oh wow i really liked the filter/shader you made for sn (prolly geforce experience idk)
im on console and i dont hear anybody using voice chat ever, do i have it off? most people usually use emotes a lot i can see anyway
they can add noise suppressoin (alot of people suggested that) like from the walls or something
i know it would be useless if u could hear people from everywhere
i think just in general a walkie talkie system would just not fit for sn
yep this has been an idea creeping around in my mind for around a year now i'd say
well yeah but we want to avoid being able to hear people from unreasonable distances, a walkie talkie re-adds that problem
Also can we please have a custom game setting to disable emotes and in general have the icons for them completely removed? 🙏
i remember them listing an emote in the emotes update thats nowhere to be found in the game
atleast it would take an inventory slot
voice chat and emotes should be disabled while you're being grabbed by the neighbor tbh
and maybe neighbor can somehow mess with radio
it was like a "be quiet" emote that would tell a player to be quiet
I agree, you already scream when grabbed so
same
even if the radio takes up a slot it still has the problem where proximity voice chat would just be worse
regardless of how many changes you make to the idea
Emotes should simply be an alternative for people not using their mics, you shouldnt be able to ping/mark keys, the neighbor, send a help signal, all that
how can you fix the proximity voice chat then?
yeah the scream is fine but having the guy you got the perfect ambush on just scream out "ok im being grabbed (x person) is the neighbor" kinda sucks
make it similar to phasmophobia
easiest solution by far
then dont add the radio part then!!!!
because its a co-op game
I agree, it is so annoying just being exposed and not being able to do anything about it
maybe they can add a thing when you capture a player you can hold a button to suppress them with an animation. it would make neighbor go slower and would disable both voice chat and emote for that captured player
or just
mute the player being caught
in a game like phasmophobia radios work well because its all about co-operation, you want info from your teammates at all times
but in a game SN, the goal for the neighbor is to prevent information from being spread as much as possible, even if the neighbor could interfere with the radios that would still be an extra hurdle that doesnt need to exist
Plus in Phasmophobia you're not playing against a real person
also i think personally the disguise ability should just be basekit for all neighbors at this point and also reworked so it works like in the alphas
keep the disguise wheel tho that's a necessary mechanic for the mask
I actually think that is a great idea
actually yeah i just remembered that
i agree its really fun to use
but yeah the mask should just end up being basekit
I also wish we could use the sonar or some kind of device to close gates without being right next to them to cut off players in advance
also speaking about the disguise ability, why aren't you able to disguise as players who've dc'ed from the match? in quick game that means you can rarely use disguises on people who've been caught and that was what the disguise wheel was added for really
you can see who dc'd when pausing so
yeah that kinda ruins one way to use it
yeah, that should be removed too
they removed the shoes on the ground but not being able to see who got caught in the menu
They removed to ability to see which kids have been caught or not yet you can see when they leave the match?? What was the point then, remove BOTH
on pc each class has unique gear whenever they get caught on the ground
i thought that was when a player disconnects
should have known pc actually got something cooler
thats what im talking about?
mhm
yeah steam's the only version that's gotten any of the hotfixes
hopefully the other platforms dont get left in the dust when the xmas update arrives until next year
the disconnecting sound can be something the kids say when they are leaving like "im leaving" or something
idk what the point was of removing it on console, just keep the default shoes until the update comes (if)
@main helm
im pretty sure removing it was a bug and not an intentional mechanic, they talked about different models for that in the patch notes for the halloween update
no? as a matter of a fact no sound should be played whenever a player disconnects
oh
thats probably better
also with the idea of the mask being basekit scary neighbor should get an ability to replace it
like maybe a remote control that can close gates from a farther distance
but has a long cooldown before being used again
imagining them saying this and then just disappearing is pretty funny
remove the sonar from the game and scary neighbor gets security cameras
im half joking about that
i guess lol
🙏
secret neighbor alpha moments
terribly cropped because I had to go onto youtube and find ancient gameplay
yeah thats understandable
and there was just a youtubers face on the screen 💀
you got the first semi public build footage 💀
getting close to pre-historic
Speaking of
Found this on the ParaNeighbor stream from 2021
but yeah whenever you would pull out the remote control a highlight similar to the alphas would show you what gates are available in your current location
this also has an affect on how high are you
if i remember correctly this was version 0.6.0, aka part of the transition from BAM to SN
That bookshelf 😭
like if you're on the 3rd floor any gate on the 1st floor would not be usable
ok but i love the map 5 bookcases
Would definitely balance it a bit, I like it
i really want them to be in LE so badly
the bookself looks pretty unnerving in my opinion
i remember when we first saw those on a steam livestream and i was silently praying that wasn't actually a featured change
it looks good on map 5 but dear lord it was ugly anywhere else
Might sound strange but we should be able to use materials to texture drawers, cabinets, & other furnature etc, like specific parts of them and all that
fridge hell remastered
that would be cool
imagine how many possibilities that would make
And also like that one LE map that has stretched assets we should be able to copy, paste, stretch/change the dimensions, etc
you mean the "totally normal house" map or whatever its called?
yeah but also the welcome to raven brooks act 3 map
It was one of the map contest winners, an updated version fo their map
atleast in the LE version of that map
ah
Yes it was this one
i wanna figure out how to do stuff like that but those mapdata files are incomprehensible i have no idea where to start with those
I wasn't a huge fan of the map layout and thought it was a bit confusing/messy but the stretched assets were the coolest thing ever
It's far too confusing for me, it would be faster if I just waited for LE + lol
I honestly have hope for the roadmap changes, I just really hope the game is in a better state this time next year
im keeping my expectations near 0 for now, that may change depending on how i feel about the christmas update
the way the players collide into items is kind of bad
if you run into a chair it should fall over but it stops you from moving forward
a box in a doorway could make you lose the game
i actually have an theory/idea for the new neighbor
such is why spam jumping is an optimal strategy for the kids
