What is the Reedem Key for Launch Secret Neighbor on Steam

😅

[marsh cargo]

There's no steam key, you will receive a code in the email you used to sign up for the alpha to activate the game in the launcher, that's where the alpha test is happening.

[dense yew]

i am updating the game but it is stuck on 248 and i left it over night and it is still stuck there

[plain parrot]

Hey.

How long we need to wait for receive?

[civic lodge]

Will there be another Key Sign Up after the first of November?

[marsh cargo]

It's early to know, keep an eye on #announcements they will give that kind of information there.

[gilded bronze]

!specs

[nova yoke]

These are the minimum specs to run the game:

Processor: i5
Graphics Card: Gtx 1050
RAM: 4 Gb RAM
HDD: 700mb

Even if you meet the suggested requirements remember: Part of partaking in alpha tests is that you are knowingly and agreeing that you are playing a very unfinished state of the game; that is bound to have bugs and lack of optimization. Alpha tests are done specifically to have users help find bugs.

[echo ferry]

Alpha is a test its free you dont have to play it ... you didnt pay a cent

[placid wren]

my friend played this game once and and hes from australia

Probably when the full game releases on Steam, there will probably be less lag.

[copper escarp]

yeah and then i have to pay no way iam gonna do that with no gararnty no lagg

[echo ferry]

There will be less laggs and vlogger you can whine as long as you want you wont get your time back and you wont get anything out of it

[copper escarp]

Keys were given out randomly. Just because you signed up doesn’t mean u got one

[granite cove]

wow

[copper escarp]

what is the code to play a secret neighbor??

[granite cove]

did you got the code in email

[copper escarp]

no

[granite cove]

well idk

[tall crest]

you have to be on the mailing list prior to code distribution. the codes for this alpha cycle (ending nov 1) have already been given out. however, there are still some people who have spare codes left. keep an eye on social media (twitch, twitter, etc) and discord to see if anyone says they're giving any away

[copper escarp]

ok

[rotund palm]

I got a question are the codes account specific cuz i might try the game in an internet cafe considering that my pc... lacks ram .-.

[full copper]

Account specific, yes

[copper escarp]

You know when the full game comes out?

[full copper]

November first ends the Alpha, I would assume they are going to do another alpha or a beta next and then prepare for release. I would expect 2019 unless major issues arise, however I’m not a mod or Dev.

[copper escarp]

ok

[fierce galleon]

My game is breaking so bad

[full copper]

Most likely another Alpha > Beta > maybe another beta > release

[fierce galleon]

Ok it’s sorted I think

[full copper]

[turbid breach]

When the game secret Neighbor come out on steam ?

[copper escarp]

Will the game after the release be free or paid?

[wispy panther]

If i put yall iqs together it will still be less than mine

[full copper]

@copper escarp 20 USD for the game

[copper escarp]

@full copper Thanks

[full copper]

@turbid breach no release date as of yet but I suspect 2019 bar any large problems

[turbid breach]

on steam 2018 - ish ^^

[full copper]

Considering the state of the Alpha I highly doubt that.

They would have to polish the game in less then three months. I don’t think they’d rush like that but I’m not a Dev or part of the team

[plain parrot]

Today i sent subscription, and how long do i wait?

For key.

[full copper]

Keys for the Alpha have already gone out in two waves and considering the Alpha ends soon I doubt they’ll be sending out more @plain parrot

[devout merlin]

@echo ferry No boss, but lots of piecing things together.

[full copper]

Try to look for a streamer doing a giveaway

[plain parrot]

Will it cost money?

[full copper]

Yes, I believe mistress confirmed 20 USD

[plain parrot]

Oh i hate looking for key at giveways.

Always someone took it.

[devout merlin]

Hang on there, I said Alex the dev said about $20 USD.

Just repeating.

[full copper]

Roger that

So probably 20-30 I would assume.

I’d be sad if t came out for 59.99 lol

[devout merlin]

It wouldn't be that high.

Dark, please don't beg for keys.

[plain parrot]

ye

@devout merlin so they still ponder where to go or they took the right choice? ^^

[plain parrot]

Recommend me any game with 32 bit???

@pseudo parrot you have a chance to get a key it isnt a 100% ticket

Sometimes I understand your struggel Mistress ...

i hope i will get it

[devout merlin]

It's all good, Blood. It could be much worse.

[echo ferry]

I dont see how 😅

[median plank]

[vital marsh]

You will see once more fans of asym PvP show up how it could be worse 😃

[echo ferry]

Well they have a filter bot sooooo ...

[devout merlin]

Oh, that doesn't stop some :D

[vital marsh]

If bots were any good we wouldn't need tons of mods in every gaming discord now would we? 😉

has a dev taken the time to talk about the target audience yet since I asked or nah

gaming mistress would know since you are always watching 😃

[devout merlin]

They haven't addressed it.

[wheat chasm]

Hi

[vital marsh]

Always the same they get these discords running and then you don't even get to speak with them 10 minutes a day. Might aswell only throw the community manager in at this rate and sacrifice im to the masses

[median plank]

To be fair the point of a Discord is often for community building, if the devs come in they come in. There's no guarantee that they'll be active in here because they're actively working on the game. They may pop in when they can but that's just how it goes, the game takes priority.

[tall crest]

is there a community manager? 😄

[vital marsh]

Nobody is saying the game shouldn't take priority. Cutting out 10 minutes of workflow to answer a bunch of questions in the discord is part of community building and it is lacking - and not only here. Nobody is asking them to have a dev posted here 24/7 😄

[full copper]

That’s why there are moderators @vital marsh

[pseudo parrot]

gaming mistress same day it come

[tall crest]

the next few days, in particular, you're going to see lower "important person" turnout in official discords. it seems lots of deal making happens at the same time as twitchcon

[vital marsh]

moderators dont have answers. They just manage discord and the frequently asked questions. They don't have knowledge beyond that

[worthy thorn]

nice game

[full copper]

@tall crest deal making?

[pseudo parrot]

when did another message come same day

[tall crest]

yeah. hiring talent. working on future promotion. etc.

[devout merlin]

Well, that's nice you think that Pappus, but yes, sometimes we do have answers.

[full copper]

@vital marsh ... Moderators can contact devs for answers, rather then all of us pinging each individual devs.

[tall crest]

mistress is our local radio shack franchise 😄

[full copper]

Mistress is the best moderator I’ve ever seen.

[devout merlin]

I'm far from the best, but thank you.

[tall crest]

for those too young or in the wrong geo to get the joke, their ads used to say "You've got questions, we've got answers"

[full copper]

I literally verified my account to answer the FAQs I see her constantly answering.

[pseudo parrot]

when did another message come same day

[vital marsh]

Well mistress give me a holler once the target audience question has been answered. 20+ people wait for me to have that answer since that is the purchase rule.

[devout merlin]

(I got the joke, lewe, don't worry)

[pseudo parrot]

when did another message come same da

[vital marsh]

With current matchmaking this game is worthless to adult gamers outside of wanting to play with your kids.

[full copper]

(I didn’t)

[tall crest]

i figured you did. but i am cognizant that we have all ages and locales represented here 😃

[full copper]

I just don’t watch tv

[devout merlin]

It might come the same day, Dark. For now, you just have to wait.

[pseudo parrot]

when did another message come same day

[tall crest]

@vital marsh funny most of the people i've played with have been adults. all, possibly.

[pseudo parrot]

ok

[full copper]

@tall crest Same, my player base is all 24+

[tall crest]

just because your player character representation is a child doesn't mean the game is aimed at children.

[vital marsh]

playing it 3 hours per day and the vast majority is non-adults.

of those that speak at least is what I got.

[tall crest]

very good case in point is the Taiwanese game called Kidz. it came out a couple months ago, and is based on a tv series called On Children. it is DARK. though you play as child characters.

[full copper]

@vital marsh 3 hours a day is a bad study group.

[tall crest]

yeah. especially if you're in random lobbies in this game, it seems

that's why #503634809575309312 exists tho i guess

[vital marsh]

The minority of gamers uses forum/discord etc so room sharing does not help with the issue. The question at hand is what the average experience will be when you click on find match by yourself. Yes if I make a lobby with my friends and play with them 100% of the time, then the average age will be pretty high, but that doesn't represent reality

[echo ferry]

@devout merlin you should ask the Discord Admins to do a RPG channel like in the forums 😁

[tall crest]

alpha testing is never representative of final lobbies

[vital marsh]

you might want to increase your knowledge about statistics lewellyn

[devout merlin]

Here's my stat knowledge dump: alpha test isn't a proper representation of final community.

[echo ferry]

@vital marsh thats wrong ... the roomsharing is actually very active here you cant compare all the gaming communities and the games!

[tall crest]

i've been playing pre-release multiplayer games since the mid 1990s (when we had to dial into a modem bank for testing. whoo!) so if you can posit your observations as facts, so can i.

[full copper]

When the game has a price tag, there won’t be as many kids.

[devout merlin]

This is free, kids like free, they're going to be going for it. When the game goes live and requires money, they get pushed out and those who have money will come in. The teenager/kid demographic will be lowered.

[vital marsh]

With the difference that I have them on tape, while you have to use your memory 😉

[tall crest]

i can tell you that very often the final player makeup is not at all what was tuned for

[full copper]

Exactly mistress

[tall crest]

i don't have to rely on memory. i have design docs and notes

[echo ferry]

Thats actually a Fact Mistress ... because a word filter will make the game look more friendly in the whole but looking deeper the community is still the same also it will change because the game costs money then

[vital marsh]

Actually statistically the audience with the most cash on hands for stuff like games is kids

[devout merlin]

This isn't stat knowledge, this is basic industry knowledge.

[vital marsh]

because they get their parents to buy it for them - but that is something different.

[devout merlin]

Either which way, this isn't a topic that'll get anywhere. Let's get back to the game and enjoying it.

[echo ferry]

Says the Girl that isnt playing it 😒😜

[tall crest]

i expect that the hello neighbor demographic will be the core demographic we see for secret neighbor, at least at first. so the question is: has the demographic breakdown for hello neighbor been made public? if not, those of us here know literally nothing of value.

[median plank]

Yeah let's not toss out snarky comments, aye?

[tall crest]

multiplayer sequels do very well at first amongst players of previous franchise entries

[devout merlin]

Hey, I can enjoy it vicariously through others :D

And I do enjoy seeing others enjoy the game.

[vital marsh]

Hello neighbor wasn't asym pvp though - which is a rare genre with not many releases

[tall crest]

til that our games are stalked 😄

@vital marsh irrelevant. people who like a game are more likely to buy the sequels ESPECIALLY with how steam's algos work

[echo ferry]

1. You are totally wrong lewellyn cause its a complete other game in its online form its less puzzle and more competetive and harder ... 2. Mistress i will get you into a game with me some day! challange accepted

[tall crest]

those who have played hello neighbor are surely going to be bombarded by secret neighbor for weeks

[vital marsh]

and i dont mind that either, kids should play this game, they just shouldn't be mixed in with adults. So target audience and plans for playerbase seperation need to be discussed.

[echo ferry]

And also sadly the reviews for hello neighbor arent the best ... and its a shame that it is that way

[light mural]

This is my first day in the group!

[full copper]

@vital marsh Lol, so do you want kid and adult lobbies?

[devout merlin]

Welcome Kerbeh!

[light mural]

Hello everyone!

[echo ferry]

Wont happen anyway gilgs

[devout merlin]

And as I said, let's move on from the topic, we're going a bit around in a circle and doesn't really lead to anything.

[vital marsh]

Yeah although I dislike player seperation due to various reasons a game of 5 adults is fundamenally different ballpark than 5 kids.

[tall crest]

@echo ferry yeah. and that's where the algos actually work best on steam: it's going to mostly be foisted on those who put more time into hello neighbor at first. which is actually good. they're more likely to fairly review it. and the better the reviews, the more it will trend into other people's results

[light mural]

First day on hello neighbor time to play!

[vital marsh]

It literally is not the same game across these demographics

[echo ferry]

The Mod that despritly tries to get back to normal i like that 😁😂

[devout merlin]

Hope you enjoy, Ker!

[median plank]

Yeah debating on demographics isn't going to get anywhere and splitting up a playerbase might not be the best idea. Play it if you want, don't if you don't.

[light mural]

thanks bro!

[devout merlin]

Next step is just dropping mutes since I've said it twice now.

[vital marsh]

mozz then you aren't selling your product as wide as you could.

[median plank]

There are several things wrong with that sentence. 🤔

[vital marsh]

Language barrier is the next problem and these problems are real and you can see them being handled with competitors aswell

[light mural]

I'll like some mozzarella sticks at the moment 🤔

[median plank]

So anyway.

[tall crest]

in any case, asking devs for hard facts while they're still collecting input which would influence them is counterproductive. demographics questions aren't even something i'd consider asking of a game like this until beta

[median plank]

I almost ordered some a few minutes ago, but that would have been too much food.

[echo ferry]

Why are you against debating this? I mean im too for a Split of kids and adults just because its better for each to play with there own but it wont happen ...

[tall crest]

and that's my final input

[light mural]

oof Mozzarella sticks Imma order 'em at McDonals

[vital marsh]

Target audience is one of the first answers you have before producing since you tune your product towards it

[light mural]

Donalds*

[devout merlin]

Holy crap, seriously, quit the topic.

[median plank]

Because it's a topic that to me is more likely to be combative than productive, and heavily opinion-based.

Oh man no, not the McDonald's ones! Those were so bad.

[devout merlin]

If you want to continue, PM each other.

[vital marsh]

Why drop the topic it is completely normal and civil discussion?

[light mural]

Sowwy Gaming

[median plank]

Burger King's are pretty good (if they sell them at yours), but almost no one else sells them.

[echo ferry]

Why is it combative its a fundamental thing because this game will have a very big split in ages

[devout merlin]

You've done nothing wrong Kerbeh.

[light mural]

Well yeah Burger king's win... but it's too FAR

[echo ferry]

And i believe split groups will have more fun and its saver for the kids ....

[devout merlin]

Pappus, it's not a productive conversation, but as I said, if you want to continue, PM each other.

[light mural]

Wut

[tall crest]

@echo ferry there's no way they can give any useful answers till they've collated data. what they planned for and what alphas indicate the reality to be may differ wildly

[echo ferry]

You know the older community mistress ...

[vital marsh]

It is not a productive conversation in your mind, but at the end of the day it isn't against the rules in any way so you are out of line.

[tall crest]

so design changes may happen

[devout merlin]

I'm glad you feel that Pappus, but I'm still calling it here. Move on.

[full copper]

Oh shiiii

[vital marsh]

So much for best mod 😉

[light mural]

Almost done downloading Hello Broder 😝 (May I have sum loops broder?9

[echo ferry]

I would say let the Devs decide but i guess this wont happen ^^

[devout merlin]

Never said I was but thanks.

[light mural]

oof

[echo ferry]

Also mistress its better to discuss such things in alphas then if its to late and causing problems ... its nothing that will kill the game by discussing this

[light mural]

Well ya boi got a point there...

[median plank]

I'd argue this is more a personal issue than one with the game itself.

[devout merlin]

I understand that Blood, but it's also not a productive conversation when one or more side is being rude about the whole thing.

[median plank]

But at the same time I don't get why you guys are so insistent on something that can't be enforced anyway.

[vital marsh]

mistress is completely out of line to try and stop a discussion that is civil about the game, but he is pressured into a corner now. Only way out of it is by admitting that she is at fault and that won't happen so we can call it quits for today and talk about it tomorrow.

[median plank]

Uh...

[light mural]

Only thing to solve this is to put the age restriction to da gam

[nova yoke]

Pappus#3115 was muted

[full copper]

Lmao

[light mural]

didn't mean to write it

[devout merlin]

I'm not going to deal with someone who is going to repeatedly rude to both myself and other people.

[echo ferry]

No its totally not i have nothing against them but you know older people they insult more are more sexual ... its 1 thing that will be bad for kids the other thing is kids have another mentallity ... i guess they have more fun playing with each other and olders too

[tall crest]

i would like to quote the rules at this juncture: 2) Harassing, confronting or disrespecting any moderator or crew member may lead to disciplinary action without any further notice.

[echo ferry]

Against kids*

[light mural]

Imma play sum neighbor now!

[devout merlin]

Take a break to go reread the rules.

You enjoy yourself, Kerbeh.

[full copper]

Rip Pappus.

F

[echo ferry]

For me its a fundamental thing nothing personal ...

[light mural]

I'm against nobody I am just listening and saying my opinion on this topic... anyways thanks Gaming Mistress!

[full copper]

Have a great day everyone!

[devout merlin]

o7

[light mural]

ya too Gilgs

[tall crest]

to be constructive... it would be interesting to see them add multiple game modes, where one is more likely to naturally be selected by children somehow

[light mural]

ok so a vote-like thing... but wouldn't that be so that ya know who it is?

[tall crest]

not sure how they'd do that. i've been trying to figure out how they'd implement various game modes at all

[echo ferry]

Ye that would be a pretty funny idea ... kids get to play kids and adults play the neighbor 🤔 could lead to pedo calling though 😅

[devout merlin]

Eeeeeh, let's not go there.

[tall crest]

no no. i mean some feature of the game appealing more to a younger demographic while being unappealing to older

[echo ferry]

Hey the idea is nice the result is another thing with the online community 😅

[tall crest]

maybe dumbed down controls or something?

dumbed down controls, no voice, emoji chat only.

[echo ferry]

👌

Im for it

[tall crest]

emoji chat would be like proximity voice, since if you can't see it, you probably couldn't hear anyway

[full copper]

Lmao

[tall crest]

and that combination would be unappealing to most of us, probably

[full copper]

Game definitely needs a scroll wheel chat type of thing for sure.

[devout merlin]

Could always throw that in the #477116026748796949 Gilgs.

[echo ferry]

Yea that will happen anyway i guess

[full copper]

Think I saw it already suggested

[tall crest]

just throwing out ideas on how they could vary gameplay to include more player types in general tho

you'd want enough differentiation between the modes that they make sense in existing

[echo ferry]

But the idea with kids vs adults with only emoji chat would be very cool Experiment

[full copper]

Kids would just lie about their age

[echo ferry]

Well thats again another thing

[tall crest]

of course. that is why i said that things should naturally just appeal to them 😉

[full copper]

I get you lew

[echo ferry]

Adults have to give there credit card infos 😂😂

[full copper]

I would say that version (the kids preferred MP) would probably have to do with the gun

[tall crest]

asking direct questions is incentive to lying. subtly getting them to identify is much more likely to get a group to sort together

[echo ferry]

Well im out for now bye

[tall crest]

that's another thing. maybe a mode with a lot more guns. but not shotguns. like water guns and nerf guns and...

[full copper]

Peace.

I don’t see how they could dumb down the controls but more guns in one game mode would restrict the difficulty to a certain point.

[tall crest]

i think communities self-sorting would be useful once the player base is larger, regardless. a massive lobby system is unlikely to be fun in a voice-oriented game

[full copper]

Less aiming.

Would probably appeal.

Sorting the hardcore from soft core should always be a game’s priority.

[tall crest]

not even more guns. get rid of the flashlight and embed it into each gun. get rid of throwables. so the only things worth picking up are chairs and keys really. and gun swaps

i actually am curious how that'd play suddenly

[full copper]

Lmao

Usually sorting comes in the form of MMR

[tall crest]

it'd be basically the same game, but it'd feel so much different

[copper escarp]

slowmode ;D

[tall crest]

and slowmode isn't really a hindrance to those who use full sentences 😛

[full copper]

^

[devout merlin]

It's only 10 seconds, not too bad.

[copper escarp]

hey there

[devout merlin]

Hey, Dilb.

[mental pilot]

Hello!

[tall crest]

@full copper so your idea is basically to just make ranks a la dbd?

part of the game DOES feel a bit like a cutesy dead by daylight though, in fairness

[copper escarp]

is there a way to make a game start in a private server with only 4 players?

@tall crest I agree, but atleast they will get more players that way if its cartoony for the kids

[devout merlin]

You can make a server with a password, Pixel.

[tall crest]

@copper escarp not a judgement at all 😄

[copper escarp]

gaming mistress i did that

[tall crest]

in all fairness, dbd is a really popular game. so taking aspects of it which work well isn't a bad move

[copper escarp]

but when i have 4 of my friends in there and they are all ready it still wont start

i think it needs atleast 5 plrs to start

[echo ferry]

Dbd is also one of the worst made games with the worst devs and worst community 😅

[devout merlin]

As far as I knew, you needed at least four to start a game.

[copper escarp]

ok

[echo ferry]

3 or 4

[copper escarp]

4 i think

[echo ferry]

But less then 5

[full copper]

Maybe not specifically like DBD but a rank system would be nice. Usually the lower ranks are where you get the cringe games and higher ones you get more skilled players. It depends on the direction they want to take to be honest.

I’ve called this game a mixture of Deceit (free to play game) and dead by daylight. It requires killer skills from DBD but finesse from Deceit.

First day I streamed it I Deceit by daylight @tall crest

[devout merlin]

If the room isn't working, I'd say clear out and remake the room, Pixel.

[echo ferry]

The game has no higher games because the game isnt balanced the game is survivor biased

[full copper]

I called it Deceit by daylight*

[echo ferry]

And well balance is also an issue in deceit

Balance kills every Asymetric game i know so far

[light mural]

Can I have some help?

[devout merlin]

What's up?

[full copper]

What’s up Kerb

In all Asyms, we’ll coordinated survivors should always beat killers

[echo ferry]

Its not coordinated surivors its pure balancing ...

[full copper]

Not sure how to fix that

Define balancing.

[light mural]

Yeah... I'm a poor 15 year old boi... my Pc needs slightly lower graphics to run the game properly... first game I was the neighbor and that motion blur made me lag sooooo much... please help?

[full copper]

We seem to be using it differently.

[copper escarp]

make the neighbor nonexistent and make the keys fly around on bats, boom

[echo ferry]

A killer must be able to kill coordinated survivors but then the solo survivors will whine that they lose all the timd

[devout merlin]

You can lower the resolution for now, but graphic options will be in later on.

[light mural]

ok...

[full copper]

@light mural try 800x600 and Work your way up

[light mural]

thanks Gilgs

[full copper]

@echo ferry it seems to always be like that in all Asyms @light mural thank Mistress, she da real MVP.

[marsh cargo]

Don't spam reactions please @copper escarp

[echo ferry]

And the problem with dbd is that most people play survivor so the devs only hear the survivor side because they want their money and ignore the killer side so the game is survivor biased

[light mural]

ok

[full copper]

As a rank 1 killer every season, I would agree it’s survivor biased but it’s doable. I’ve also been in discord with 3 other survivors and worked the killer to frustration and sometimes even rage quit. I just don’t think Asym can ever truly be balanced, it’s kind of the nature of the game

[tall crest]

and then you end up with dbd events like the current one. i've been laughing heartily

if secret neighbor can foster a less-toxic community, i see it doing well

[echo ferry]

Yea its doable but only if you play S-Tier killer with farming the best perks in the game for years and thats boring

[devout merlin]

And hopefully with some sort of ingame reporting and filtering, the community can be less toxic.

[copper escarp]

l0l

[echo ferry]

Mistress you really believe in wonders do you?

[full copper]

She believes in the Devs.

[median plank]

7 Wonders is a pretty good game.

[devout merlin]

I was programmed with an old version of hope.exe. It's a bit outdated.

But it checks out.

[full copper]

Lmao

[tall crest]

don't tell her that there's a crc collision

[devout merlin]

All in all, with the right tools given to a community, it can self filter and police itself for the most part.

You have to be careful about how you go about it, but it can work.

[copper escarp]

Is it possible to lower the graphics?

[devout merlin]

Not at the moment, Hello.

[full copper]

Not as of now @copper escarp

[copper escarp]

making offensive server names is soooo funny am i right guys? (/s obviously)

[tall crest]

and automated anti-ragequit would be nice too

[tropic torrent]

xd

[tall crest]

@copper escarp that's one thing that needs policing for sure

[devout merlin]

These are all things that can help promote a healthier community.

[tall crest]

and an algo that if someone's voted kicked from X% of groups, they get to take a cooldown or something. stick em in jail 😄

[devout merlin]

I'm sure a word filter will be put into place at a later date.

[full copper]

I did get into a lobby with a kid screaming the N word once.

Was not enjoyable.

[devout merlin]

I can imagine, Gilgs.

[vital marsh]

Well a classic report system like in every game of this style should suffice

[full copper]

Probably 12 years old at max.

Welcome back Pappus.

[tall crest]

yup. and kids like that are gonna be a problem. if they get voted away constantly, they'll have to change their behavior to play. that's the right way of self-policing to happen imo

[copper escarp]

@tall crest if you get the cooldown you get a screen of your avatar trapped in the basement beating at the door with a timer

[echo ferry]

Like said Mistress a word filter will make the community look nicer until you join a game with guys Shouting GAAAAAAY in their microphones ...

[vital marsh]

Self-policing only works up to teaming, because you won't be able to self-police teamers very efficiently

[tall crest]

@copper escarp i was thinking either sticking them in a jail cell or in the basement, in the dark, with the door locked. when they're allowed to leave, the door opens

[devout merlin]

That's when muting in games would come into place, Blood.

[echo ferry]

In a voicr game thats still not the best option

[devout merlin]

True, but if you've got someone screaming, it's sometimes the only solution.

[echo ferry]

The only thing that will help is that the game will cost money so many trolls get sorted out

[tall crest]

and to be clear, my idea is "voted kicked from X% of games played" so if they play 3 games and get kicked from 2 lobbies after, that's still 66% kick rate

[devout merlin]

That'll come into play as well.

[full copper]

The money filter is the best filter.

[echo ferry]

And the reports hopefully

[copper escarp]

@tall crest oh yeah that'd be cool if they restart the game they spawn in the basement with the neighbor guarding the door but when the timer runs out a box falls on his head and then the door unlocks

[tall crest]

private lobbies wouldn't count

[vital marsh]

Kids do not lack access to money

[copper escarp]

true

[full copper]

@tall crest game definitely needs to track kick/report rate as I’m sure they will.

[vital marsh]

Like I get it not everyone is swimming in money as a kid, but the vast majority of kids will have no problem squeezing out 20$ out of their parents

[tall crest]

yeah. i'm sure most of what i'm suggesting atm is going to show up in some form. probably with actual play testing amongst their elite circle.

[echo ferry]

And there we go again @vital marsh 🙄

Want the next mute?

[tall crest]

it feels like someone didn't read any chat recently

[devout merlin]

If need be, just ignore Blood.

[echo ferry]

😅

[tall crest]

i'm tempted to ignore blood...

[vital marsh]

gilgs just said money filter is the best filter...

[tall crest]

you're not gonna see kids shelling out $20 repeatedly for the same game. you're only going to see that with the most devoted trolls anyway.

[full copper]

@vital marsh There will be less kids when they have to pay.

[tall crest]

"yeah. i had to make a new steam account and buy the game again. but it's so much fun to yell at the pixel kids" just sounds lame

[echo ferry]

Why you want to ignore me? 😱 😢

[tall crest]

@echo ferry 🤣

[copper escarp]

and when they get banned can't wait for them coming to this server to try to say they were banned unfairly when its obvious they weren't by their attitude

[echo ferry]

Im going crying in a corner see ya 😭

[tall crest]

watch out for the neighbor

[vital marsh]

When deceit went f2p the biggest problem that increased was cheaters. For everything else - insulters, screamers etc it remained constant. I can tell you cause I Have moderated for that game for years and talked to the devs every day. The money filter works against cheaters in the form of permabans, but people that insult usually aren't struck with permas

[tall crest]

grab some glue just in case

there is no reason bad actors can't be permabanned. or effectively so

[light mural]

having lots of fun with the game!

[devout merlin]

Good to hear, Ker!

[velvet dagger]

@vital marsh Decit sucks when it comes to trolls there are literally people on the American servers who are Russian and just troll

[echo ferry]

Ker is like the little child who doesnt care about anything in here 😂

[vital marsh]

You dont know how deceit used to be. When I started we didn't even have language seperation there

[echo ferry]

(No insult)

[tall crest]

@light mural is purer than most of us and should be held aloft as a beacon of hope

[devout merlin]

I appreciate Ker's dedication to enjoying the game.

[full copper]

Happy for you @light mural !

Lmao same Mistress.

I love the game, or I wouldn’t be here.

[echo ferry]

More like you Mistress 😒 😑 😘 😂

[light mural]

I've waited for so long to play and I don't regret it!

[devout merlin]

That's good to hear too, Gilg XD

[light mural]

gonna get my friends playing too!

[full copper]

😁

[tall crest]

@echo ferry i think she's out of your league 😛

[devout merlin]

[echo ferry]

Mistress when? 8 hours playing secret neighbor with us? 🤔

[full copper]

What’s wrong with you dude lmao

[devout merlin]

Ha, that's a bit much. I can't play many games for that long.

D&D? That I can do. Most games? Not really.

[velvet dagger]

Yesterday I was busy trying to get my dbd event rewards

[echo ferry]

Well then you didnt play with the right people/the right games

[light mural]

gotta go!

[full copper]

Bye kerb.

[copper escarp]

bye

[devout merlin]

Later Kerb! Thanks for swinging by!

[tall crest]

@light mural be fun! hope to see you back soon!

[copper escarp]

Why can not I send a game invitation to a friend

[echo ferry]

Always if Mistress is talking to Kerb I see a mom talking to her sweet son 😂😂😂

[full copper]

What....

[devout merlin]

Hey, I'm not as mean as you think! I relaly do like seeing people enjoying themselves.

[echo ferry]

Well ... DnD Master ... Do I have to say more?

Lmaooo

[copper escarp]

Why can not I send a game invitation to a friend

[vital marsh]

Is it still played pen & paper style these days

or did it evolve

[full copper]

@copper escarp are you friends on secret neighbor launcher?

[devout merlin]

That's what I was trying to remember how to invite friends.

[tall crest]

wait. we can add friends on the launcher?

[full copper]

Have you both restarted the launcher after accepting friend request? Is it a private lobby?

[echo ferry]

...

[vital marsh]

can you queue with friends?

[echo ferry]

The launcher isnt connected to the game is it?

@vital marsh no

[vital marsh]

cause all i see on the launcher is chat

[tall crest]

the launcher exists to let me restart the game when it freaks out 😛

oh. has anyone managed to add the game to their steam as a non-steam game?

[full copper]

Not I

[vital marsh]

Didnt bother to try, but it isnt working for you? I can give it a spin later it shouldnt cause any problems

[echo ferry]

@devout merlin what are you even playing? 🤔

[tall crest]

i can get the game itself added, but not the launcher. the launcher shortcut has a bizarre uri

[devout merlin]

Right now? I'm working on notes from last night's game.

[full copper]

A friend of mine did add it to steam so it’s definitely possible

[devout merlin]

Then I'll probably go raid in FFXIV.

[vital marsh]

Bloody... it is time to roll for seduction

[tall crest]

be careful @devout merlin i might have to stalk you if you're on aether 😉

[echo ferry]

Mistress i know you are a DnD nerd ... but i mean online 🙈 only?

[devout merlin]

Primal~

[tall crest]

pfft

[devout merlin]

Naw, I play paper and pen when I can.

It's just easier to play online.

[echo ferry]

Well but also more time consuming + it is funny indeed but other games are too

[vital marsh]

p&p style is really tough to beat as a game. It is pretty fun but hard to setup

[echo ferry]

also its called pen & paper 😜

[devout merlin]

Yeah, you're right. Brain's on coast mode. Three hours of sleep will do that.

[vital marsh]

Alright catch you guys later gotta grab some footage with tricks, exploits for various advantages so people git gud easier

[echo ferry]

Well like said P&P is a bit more time consuming 😜

Guys like him are the reason why DbD is so toxic ...

[vital marsh]

I don't think you realize how right you are 😃

[echo ferry]

I know that im right thats why i hope you get banned soon 😊 sorry but you kill games ...

[devout merlin]

Blood, there's still rules. Let's reel it back a bit.

[vital marsh]

That is my job bloody

[copper escarp]

hey guys it's pappus here back with another secret neighbor tips and tricks video! oh and by the way wanna join my free gift giftcard giveaway?

[full copper]

Lol

[echo ferry]

Well but its the truth because people like him there are so many jukers and a**holes in DbD juking killers

[devout merlin]

I understand that but still, rules.

[vital marsh]

Yeah I invented high lvl dbd, f13 and deceit play. Yeah it can be done toxic or not. My job is still to find dominant solution in asym PvP games.

[echo ferry]

Well the rules are defending people destroying games and fun so how do the rules help the game?

[devout merlin]

No, rules are that even if you don't like what the person is doing, being civil is still needed.

[echo ferry]

You are not finding tipps or tricks you are finding ways to cheat legally ...

[vital marsh]

Among other things that is correct.

[echo ferry]

Well so you better help a person then saving your game?

[copper escarp]

i assume he means finding glitchy spots to hide items as neighbor and stuff?

[vital marsh]

Nah it depends on the game. It is different from game to game. I find techniques and explore oversights of devs and share a select few. In the past I was following a code though, but not anymore.

[echo ferry]

@devout merlin just tell the devs to watch his videos to fix the exploits 😉

[devout merlin]

I can tell you that a lot of teams already do that, especially in alphas.

[vital marsh]

For dbd it was stuff like pallet looping, flashlight plays among other things, for f13 it was combat, for deceit it was streamlining the innocent/infected play. Not everything is exploits

[turbid swift]

So when does the full game come out?

[devout merlin]

No date at the moment, Layg.

[turbid swift]

So how long will the alpha keys run for?

[devout merlin]

Nov 1st.

[copper escarp]

halloween alpha will end at 1st of november

[devout merlin]

At least this alpha runs that long.

[turbid swift]

Noooooo

It's to fun for me to not play it

[vital marsh]

@copper escarp To give you a Secret neighbor example: Glue prevents people to jump so any position you have to jump to you can now glue afterwards and be unreachable. You can also use it more friendly by throwing glue at doors and putting up e.g. a plant that you can't pass without picking it up to increase the time it takes. Or you can go full toxic and sit behind that door with 2 chairs and keep closing the door and re-chairing it since the neighbor can't really pass fast enough due to the glue to get you and the door break animations puts him back to square 1.

or creating areas where you can't see by dropping 2-4 activated flashlights in specific patterns.

[copper escarp]

doesn't glue go away after a bit though so you'd need to stockpile glue everywhere

[turbid swift]

Have they talked about how you can literally spam the neighbor and have him lay on the floor instead of finishing him

[vital marsh]

no glue doesnt go away at all. You can also just hold glue and if the neighbor grabs you - then you drop whatever item you are holding and in the case of glue there is a chance that it will register as a hit on the neighbor and in turn free you from his grab

however i haven't gotten the self-rescue via glue up to 100% yet so don't think of it as failsafe

[rancid yoke]

quick question: can the neighbor hear what the kids are talking about?

[turbid swift]

Yes der

[copper escarp]

yes the neighbor can hear the kids

[tall crest]

the neighbor would be immediately identifiable otherwise 😃

[rancid yoke]

ok... because i was the neighbor and i heared nothing

[tall crest]

did you hear voice in the lobby?

[copper escarp]

either nobody has a mic or game is broken for you

[rancid yoke]

yes

[tall crest]

then game busted

[rancid yoke]

and at the end, and as i catched someone (sorry for my bad english)

[vital marsh]

chat is proximity based that means you can only hear people that are "close"

also the chat has direction to it so if you are the neighbor when you speak you give away your direction

[echo ferry]

@devout merlin well i hope so and that tinybuild wont end up like the dbd devs ... because if you read all the histories about the game you will see that they tried everything to NOT fix most of the exploits for the sake of the survivors ...

[devout merlin]

TB tends to do their best with fixing exploits and give some sort of balance.

[echo ferry]

And I know that because I played DBD since minute 1

[vital marsh]

😃

[echo ferry]

And its a shame whata it now

And ye Mistress every dev and mod would say that but only time will show ...

[devout merlin]

I say that because I've been with TB for some time. They're legit.

[echo ferry]

Well they didnt do any mp games with 2 sides so far as i know

[vital marsh]

arent they more like publishers that support indie devs?

[devout merlin]

And trust me, I've got no problem calling out bad devs. It's what happened with the last studio I worked with.

They do both.

[vital marsh]

Interesting. Well I am eager to see what fight they put up

[echo ferry]

And the thing about mp games with 2 sides is always money

Mp games have a higher cost then sp games

[vital marsh]

well they are companies bloody. Wishful thinking doesn't pay the bill for their workers

sometimes it sucks but at the end of the day money is required to put things in motion. Newton didn't see that one coming 😂

[copper escarp]

Hello

[echo ferry]

Its not that ... you can say that to every game so mistress wouldnt say they are good if they would only think about money ... i mean there are other aspects in multiplayer games espacially if low priced or free

Hi Xeerey

Xeerex*

[copper escarp]

Hi

How are you sir

[echo ferry]

Fine and you?

[copper escarp]

Fine

[cosmic star]

where can i find a shotgun and how to shoot

[echo ferry]

Barn + roof garden and left mouse button? 😅

[vital marsh]

gun only has one shot so if you can't shoot (look at bottom right if it says shooting it still can) otherwise it is just a throwing object

[echo ferry]

@devout merlin what are you even doing in TB just Moderate for them or are you an employee?

[devout merlin]

Just a volunteer that mods.

[echo ferry]

Kk

[devout merlin]

I lean more towards the PR/Marketing side of things when it comes to games, but this scratches the community management itch I tend to have.

[echo ferry]

Well thats pretty much the thing between lying (marketing) and telling the truth (Community) 😉

[cinder lantern]

How To change graphic settings in secret neighbor?

[devout merlin]

Hey, ouch. I haven't sold my soul, Blood.

And not at the moment, Shocker.

[echo ferry]

You didnt by now but its the sad truth that Marketing is much lying and you didnt by now but you will propably later on ... im doing my economist in germany but i will go to the Controlling side ^^

[devout merlin]

I've been doing it long enough that if I would have sold my soul, it would have happened by now. I don't deal with shady stuff. But it's also why I listed PR first.

[echo ferry]

Well 1. I didnt really mean lying but praising the good and hide the bad ... also if you didnt do it by now you didnt have the chance to do it ^^

I guess you didnt have*

[devout merlin]

Oh no, trust me, the last indie dev I worked with.... it was bad. I ducked out of that the moment I could. Overpromising things that never made it into launch.

[echo ferry]

Yea but you arent doing it for TB why not if you would have the chance and like them?

[devout merlin]

If I didn't like what TB was doing, I'd leave.

[echo ferry]

I didnt mean that i meant why arent you doing marketing for them?

[devout merlin]

Oooh, because they've got people with more experience than I. I also don't live on the west coast.

I'm just happy to help out like this as a mod.

[echo ferry]

Yea but why you work for them then I mean nothing against it but wouldnt it be better to search for a company that needs marketing people?

[spice belfry]

My friends are bad friends and dont wanna try out the game with me ;-;

[echo ferry]

@spice belfry then you are doing something wrong 🤔

[devout merlin]

It would be, but this isn't my job, this is just something on the side. I help out when I can.

That tends to be during the US East day and dinner.

[echo ferry]

But it sounded like you want to do it why not making it your main job?

[umbral canyon]

hello

[devout merlin]

Because I have a degree in something else and that's what people look for.

Hi Skyward.

Kor, please don't beg for keys. If you would like to sign up for the alpha, you can head to https://www.secretneighbor.com/

[umbral canyon]

I have a dumb question that might've been answered

Where do i ask my question?

[devout merlin]

Have at it.

[echo ferry]

Well is it atlwast something you like doing? 😅

#474312022557851668

[devout merlin]

Depends on the question, Sky, but ask away here.

And it's something I do like, Blood.

[echo ferry]

Then its good :)

I hate people who do jobs they hate just for the money

[gilded bronze]

sometimes people have to do stuff they hate for money tbh

[umbral canyon]

true

[devout merlin]

Sometimes that's what you need to do, just so that you can find that new job that you like.

[gilded bronze]

rather do that than living on the streets

[echo ferry]

Well but still you have options to do something you like i never would clean toilets or stand as a cashier ...

[devout merlin]

Understandable. Some people don't have a choice and have to start somewhere.

I did my fair share in retail and food service when I was younger. I will never go back to that.

[echo ferry]

Well thats where you are wrong ... they HAD the chance but mostly passed it away for drugs alkohol and too much fun in their school years

[gilded bronze]

not always sometimes its hard to find a job

[devout merlin]

Not many places are going to hire a 16-17 with no job experience except basic jobs like retail and food service.

[gilded bronze]

and they need food obviously

[echo ferry]

I know it can be hard but still i would never (like mistress said) sell my soul ... also they will if you have the right degree

[devout merlin]

There's no shame in working in retail or the like, like I said, everyone has to start somewhere.

Either which way, half afk for a bit, gotta get some things done around the house. Ping me if something explodes :D

[gilded bronze]

and some people like working at retail

propably

[echo ferry]

It has nothing to do with shame its just nothing i could be living with ... and people who like that have the right degree for it thats what im saying

Most people who like working in retail only have a bad degree

[gilded bronze]

i know a person who went to work as a cleaner becouse she liked cleaning stuff

[marsh cargo]

[echo ferry]

Like said i say nothing against it ... i said i appriciate people doing jobs they like ... i only hate people who work just for money and hi Alex just move on everything is fine here 😂😂😂

I just like good conversations 😅

[gilded bronze]

these mods here are good af

this one mod started bullying me on a server becouse i posted a meme he didnt like

and he still angry at me

[echo ferry]

Ahh my bad good to know

[devout merlin]

Five and it gets grumpy.

[marsh cargo]
