This scene was still crazy when the book came out
Which book was it
lyric zephyr
The Raven Brooks Disaster, the second graphic novel
lyric zephyr
Bosco Bay
wheat sphinx
Im gonna start
lyric zephyr
Bosco Bay isn’t connected to the second one
lyric zephyr
It’s canon just doesn’t play a major role in the main story
It takes place like 15 years before HN1
lyric zephyr
No
This was before Aaron was even alive presumably
Probably the same year he was born
wheat sphinx
Norman darby was in 1960's
lyric zephyr
But he’s not present

Ok

Bosco Bay doesn’t take place in Raven Brooks

Why is the guest so buff lol

Why is the guest so buff lol

Yeah he is, just not in a good way
silver vine
the forest protectors literally cursed him with bad luck, because he was AGAINST them and trying to reveal them
pls just stop it with the whole books being different universe thing
this is HN, not FNAF
silver vine
Gonna read
no
dont read it
its the best advice i can give you
its THE worst thing to come out of the HN franchise
silver vine
the neighbor's notebook
it only has very little wrong information, its not straight up BAD
median stirrup
very little wrong information?
have you even seen it?
and let's not forget how it outright just used this picture for the neighbor of all things
silver vine
ok
it has only some wrong information
but its not
like
do you know what kind of stuff Bosco Bay has?
wicked heath
do you know what kind of stuff Bosco Bay has?
i mean the stuff is just really irrelevent
its not rlly contradicting anything
silver vine
it does not even contribute anything to the lore
it does not even contribute even 1%
the only thing it has are BAD STUFF
median stirrup
I mean it doesn't have to contribute
silver vine
yes
The only thing it contributes to the lore are:
- Ghosts talking to kids.
- Kids communicating to ghosts thru demonic stuff like Ouija boards.
- Kids having lustful intentions
- Theodore cannot be killed by anything.
- A major plot hole in the climax.
strange lance
- Ok
- What lol, that literally never happens
- It's literally teens having crushes and liking one another, stop saying everything romantic is just lust yoy've done this before.
- Yeah that part was silly
- Also what?
Do you even know what lust means lmao
silver vine

When do they ever communicate through "demonic stuff"

When do they ever communicate through "demonic stuff"

Joe told them to duck

I don't remember this at all lol

ok lemme get the book back

No no I found the part
I just forgot about it since
It's just one page
And doesn't really do anything lol
wicked heath
aight i
strange lance
Omg, the hello neighbor demon
Can't wait for the merch
Anyway, this book isn't the best by any means, but it's not the WORST thing ever, it still has a somewhat sad story for the main chsracters, and the art is cool, and is just there to shown Ted even back then was not right in the head, not to give off amazing lore
The worst piece goes to the notebook thing
Which is awful to look at
silver vine
1. Ok
2. What lol, that literally never happens
3. It's literally teens having c...
- The kids get away with the camera with the pictures of the evidence of Joe's death, which could get Theodore arrested, but the kids never release the pictures and Theodore doesnt get arrested
strange lance
Cool!
But that was my opinion!
Also TC, please stop using the word lust/lustful, not in any instance in the story did anyone express lust, it's literally just Allie being nervous around that boy and then he kisses her once and then they talk, that's not lust! That's just having a crush and liking someone! You've said the same thing with Enzo and Trinity too, do you know what lust even means?
I'm done lol

Easy lore. Kids go into park, take some props, make dream car, get looped or whatever in time, end in sandbox world. Ted experiments with time loops as seen with all the drawings and pits everywhere, as well as trying to bring his family back also seen with drawings. Also the mannequins are alive. The end!

I cannot stand looking at the HN1 neighbor anymore
I feel like I went back to 2013
Whenever I look at it

Before the game even existed...

It did exist in 2013

2014 was the proper year it started.

I wish Elena didn't make all the gloves super duper reflective
median stirrup
They're brand new
Well the guest's aren't all that reflective considering the dirt
median stirrup
They barely look like that in the game
crystal scroll
Well it's a gameplay model and not a render model
crystal scroll
Render model has subdivision
(Of course)
So the creases will look A LOT nicer there
And more apparent too I suppose
solid dew
aren't the creases all just part of the texture

Except the in game model doesn't have like any creases modelled whatsoever

We just don't have it because they compressed it in all the builds we got.
solid dew
I mean this is so much higher in quality than what we have
it doesn't look like fabric here
median stirrup
Optimization. Even tho it could just be graphics settings
No they just said they're not putting high quality textures in the game until full release
loud pawn
Oh
solid dew
because they were already struggling with optimization in the alphas
crystal scroll
4096 x 4096 for the actual resolution, we got 1024 x 1024 that is 4x lower quality.
Thus leading to blurry textures
median stirrup
Most HN2 textures are 4K/2K and we have them in 1K/512
crystal scroll
Even on the high quality texture for his face, it is a little low quality on his nose.
median stirrup
Nose

Surprised Elena didn't make his texture at 4096 x 4096.
The main star of the show.

isn't the one in diaries an actual official normal map for his hair or was that made for diaries

And his teeth texture is 1024 x 1024 and his eye texture is like 314 x 314 or some funky number.
median stirrup
What's the deal with them putting subsurface on hair
solid dew
it's not subsurface
it's a weird tangent thing
oh wait
the tangent thing replaces the normals sort of
median stirrup
They did put subsurface on Ted's hair
median stirrup
Not in the beta I think
crystal scroll
It typically ends up looking weird
wicked heath

Also is Ted using
A subsurface profile or subsurface texture

It typically ends up looking weird
his hair looks like its from some kinda concept art

A subsurface profile or subsurface texture
beatrix's profile on his skin
same as all other characters
median stirrup
Yeah...
solid dew
it does look good
most of the time
median stirrup
I mean sure it does
solid dew
quentin also had his own profile but they binned that for whatever reason
median stirrup
But they should make different profiles for different characters
solid dew
i don't think it makes much difference
median stirrup
And I swear to god
Why do they do eyes in 10 different ways
crystal scroll
And if they won't then they should really rename it to not have Beatrix in the file name
solid dew
they just can't decide on good eyes
crystal scroll
And I swear to god
Why do they do eyes in 10 different ways
It's frustrating
Not only for the mesh but the texture too
median stirrup
Quentin just had a texture
Ted has a super advanced material
And the new characters have a shitty mask that I absolutely hate
solid dew
neighbor eyes were the best eyes but people would go insane trying to get the characters to look normal in blender and ue4

It's really not that hard.
solid dew
well yeah it's not but people get caught up on it much more than any other character
median stirrup
The mask on the new characters is what pisses me off the most
crystal scroll
And they are putting the game first, not fan renders randomuser.
I am annoyed that only Theodore uses the great advanced material
All of them should
And just change the eye colour
Rather than having fairly realistic eyes for Quentin and Theodore, Nicky / Aaron cartoony eyes for the new neighbors and literal flat colours for the 2 DLC characters...
crystal scroll
Re-read my message
I mean the new neighbors have something super similar to H&S Aaron's eye texture, I can see why you got confused with my wording. I wasn't listing them as a part of the cast.
median stirrup
Again using the stupid color mask for whatever reason
Even if you're not going to use Ted's eye material at least use Quentin's eye texture and change the hue
humble wave
what even is this

Sorta, it’s more like tB hired the devs from DP and made their own team called EGS, so DP is still kind of a thing just dead tbh

very dead

*Sorta*, it’s more like tB hired the devs from DP and made their own team called...
are there still devs working under DP or are all the DP people now working under EGS?

I think they’re focused on EGS tbh, like DP no offense to them were just
Basically unknown before HN?

If you want to know who voiced Aaron and Mya in the games, watch the end credits for HAS.

old joke
and by old i mean like
a month old
long story short someone changed MiTH's wiki article and said that someone named that voiced MiTH
thing is nothing comes up when you search the name
so now it's just MiTH

tribal talon
guyss
maybe u guys discussed this before
but who do u thimk the guest is?
like we know that they purposely make us want to think its theodore
but i feel like its a bit suspicious that they do that
i think it could be aaron??
because hn2 takes place a few years after act 2 right
so aaron is probally like 15? and i guess its possible for a 15 year old to be the guests height
if the guest is like a big secret they domt want us know yet
it should be someone we know right?
like aaron
and the kid at the end of the hn2 beta is a fake cardboard cut out of aaron with fake crying noises then where is the real aaron? so hes the guest???
tell me ur thoights :)
i just rlly want aaron to be alive in a way
i think it would be a bit dissapointing if he isnt alive
like the whole point of hn2 is to find aaron
amd if he was dead it be so dissapointing
tribal talon
amd if he was dead it be so dissapointing
Yeah
But I wonder if the final hello neighbor game should be called "Goodbye Neighbor" which Mr. Peterson died dues being old and feel guilty for everything he did, and Nicky decided to visit his grave
lyric zephyr
HN2 doesn’t take place a few years after Act 2 it takes place like
During or at most a week after Act 2. The Guest is already the second tallest HN2 character way past Mr Peterson, and the Guest according to the code stalks Quentin and can make lights around it flicker (a human can’t just do that)
And in Graphic Novel 2 it’s implied the Guest can take the form of a crow
tribal talon
Yeah
yeah i dont rlly mind if hes escaped or whatever i just need him alive and i rlly want nicky and aaron to meet each other again
tribal talon
HN2 doesn’t take place a few years after Act 2 it takes place like

so the guest isnt a human?

Yeahhh, same
tribal talon
Yeahhh, same
if aaron dies im officially going to stop caring abt the hn lore
Hmm
The guest is real
lyric zephyr
Real!
tribal talon
It's actually me, I made it entire by myself and custom sweater
lyric zephyr
This is what I mean by the Guest taking the form of a crow tho, also an excuse to show off the cool artwork
A crow calls out one of the main character’s names “Pris”
The crow can apparently speak to and be understood by Mr Peterson
Also the scene where the Guest manifests out of pure water
tribal talon
I know
lyric zephyr
Aaron and Nicky should reunite tho I agree
tribal talon
But what about the guest choke Mr. Peterson?
lyric zephyr
I always took that as the Guest sort of possessing him, taking over his body
“Taking” him like it takes other things
tribal talon
Then Mr. Peterson came out of water with The Guest's suit 🤔
🤔
lyric zephyr
He tried taking Pris too but failed (luring her to a window, making her car crash, trying to drown her)
lyric zephyr
Then Mr. Peterson came out of water with The Guest's suit 🤔<a:2845_superrotatin...
I think it’s possession, the Guest clearly is supernatural in some way
tribal talon
Aaron and Nicky should reunite tho I agree
yeahh its so sad they were so close
lyric zephyr
And now as of HN2 they’ll be split up again, probably putting Aaron in a worse mental state due to having an actual friend for 2 months then being taken away to a museum and locked away again
tribal talon

yeah 😭
i hope they get the happy ending they deserve
i mean nicky tehcinally got his happy ending in hn1
but he never met aaron again
Yea
But what about you see a truth Mr. Peterson who is himself in Hn1 ending, trapped in small brown house, he basically give up on everything on himself aand let the things(depression/fear) taken over him
It's made me cry after knowing the lore and replay it
It's so sad that friendly Mr. Peterson is gone forever
oblique drum
because hn2 takes place a few years after act 2 right
afaik hn2 takes place right after act 2 so thats when aaron was still a child
because during hn2 nicky is still a kid and aaron was around the same age as nicky
so aaron cant be the guest since hes still a child
oh retro already explained
oh well lol
tribal talon

yeah i just realised that sorry😅
what do u guys think happened to aaron
since at the end of the hn2 beta hes just a cardboard cutout and with recorded crying noises
oblique drum
that cardboard could be a placeholder
tribal talon

lyric zephyr
The cardboard is most definitely placeholder since the Beta is completely non-canon

they'd have no reason to give him to us as a fully modelled character

tbf people assumed that about the mannequins and cutouts in the first game💀 and then it wasn't actually replaced
vernal kraken
they assumed it was placeholder for people in some places, like the grave , etc
idk
and the crib
and then in alpha 2 opening
tribal talon

ohh i see i just thought the devs knew there would be people who would try ti hack amd see whats behind the curtain😅 but ur explanatiom makes more sense

I hope every screenshot is from full game 🙏

median stirrup
No it's alpha 2!!!!!!! /j
loud tartan
why would they make the places very well made if it's not for the Full game
warped prawn
Yeah, taxidermist house looks so cool
I wonder if they will post more locations from full game
Maybe Quentin will finally be able to swim? I think i saw someone talking about swimming animation in files 1 or 2 months ago
loud tartan
Yes, the animations for swimming were in the Alpha 1.5
They are no longer in the Beta files since you can't got in the lake
warped prawn
Yeah
But i got in the lake before they updated beta
But i was just walking on water 😫
loud tartan
They just forgot to put the invisible barrier there .
warped prawn
Yeah, but to be honest, there will be a swimming animation 100%. It will be a full game, Quentin can't just walk on water or walk underwater like in HN1

Let's see in Books 4-6 we got Forest Protectors, a time traveling guy that looks like Quentin named Norman Darby, the Golden Apple Amusement Park opening then getting shut down either the same day or 2 weeks after it opens, the Neighbor's previous park getting shut down due to a incident on a log ride, Luck Devices, which the Forest Protectors use during storms to get them good luck but the town bad luck, and the Forest Protectors are exposed and arrested
This all mainly happens from 1991-1992
also forgot to mentions the Neighbor's Parent's Weather Station
(Also Known as Mayak)
Then in 1995 Nicky moves into RB

(We don't talk about the Guidebook)
Why
Is hn books are comic books or normal boring (text only) books
opal jackal
Is hn books are comic books or normal boring (text only) books
It's text with some images every now and then
Like my pfp (my pfp is an image from the books)
tribal talon
Is hn books are comic books or normal boring (text only) books
Two are comics.
Missing Pieces, Waking Nightmare, Buried Secrets, Bad Blood, Grave Mistakes, Puzzle Master, and Reset Day are novels.
The Neighbor's Notebook is a very inaccurate guide and has very false lore information.
With exceptions of what the books already confirm.
And The Secret of Bosco Bay and The Disaster of Raven Brooks are comics.
Is anyone trying to crack the binary code in the Secret Neighbor shop? Today it is 1110010.
The binary message will probably just translate to "Authentication error".

The new binary translates to “r”

vernal kraken

tribal talon
what are your theories on what will happen in hn2 full ending? like what u think will happen after the guest catches us before we open the curtain
lyric zephyr
I don’t think that cutscene will be in the final game at all
Because the Beta has no spoilers for the full game

oh really?? i didnt know i just thought ir was incomplete😅
median stirrup
The beta is not canon

Other way around, it Eer
How was I supposed to know? All I saw was the binary code in "The Curse of Enzo." It appeared onscreeen for, like, a split second.
silver vine
With exceptions of what the books already confirm.
well, fun fact to you, it was the guidebook which first confirmed that Detective, Brave and Leader from SN were Enzo, Maritza and Trinity
only then came the AS
and later came book 5, which had a pic of Enzo
ripe berry
How was I supposed to know? All I saw was the binary code in "The Curse of Enzo....
It's actually "Eenlo r" at the moment
ripe berry
well, fun fact to you, it was the guidebook which first confirmed that Detective...
That is one extra exception to be made
lyric zephyr
Oh weird
Yeah it’s gotta be some kind of Wayron Croobian or just some weird cypher type thing
median stirrup
it is wayron croobz
lyric zephyr
Just wonder what it could translate to, since the only thing I can think of with Eenlo is like something close to Hello? Idk
lyric zephyr
Oh yeah that makes sense
wicked heath
Just wonder what it could translate to, since the only thing I can think of with...
Isnt the Hello written differently?
median stirrup
it's not hello
lyric zephyr
Yeah I think so
wicked heath
median stirrup
I don't remember
wicked heath
okay so unless the devs are inconsistent (which i doubt they are), this word is not Hello
wicked heath
"only" seems like a good word so far. Unless anyone else has better ideas?
lyric zephyr
They’re only inconsistent when it comes to like
The Mall model/texture which has everything wrong with it
median stirrup
there's no H in Eenlo and I don't remember hello having an "n" in it
so how would it ever make hello
lyric zephyr
it doesn't even make hello
Yeah sometimes they just replace letters w duplicates so Hhelo happens
So it’d sound the same
median stirrup
yeah but you can't make anything that even sounds like hello from eenlo
lyric zephyr
Fair
median stirrup
neelo
median stirrup
They’re only inconsistent when it comes to like
The Mall model/texture which has...
ah yes the mall
lyric zephyr
Which fits none of any HN Artstyle
It’s the weird demon child of every HN style there’s ever been
median stirrup
but apparently it's so amazing and should be in HN2!
lyric zephyr
Yeah!!! The weird and unfitting mall model!
Which a mall doesn’t fit Raven Brooks anyway, as it’s a small semi rural town
median stirrup
I love how it didn't even have a purpose
it was just there because they decided to add a mall
lyric zephyr
They needed a place for the cops to get donuts and coffee, so of course
An entire full blown mall!
Instead of a cafe, like Gerda’s
The Baker.
median stirrup
the police would drive there, pick up an item which wasn't even in the mall because it didn't have an interior and drive away
so they didn't even need a mall
lol
lyric zephyr
Even in concept art in the diaries for a downtown section they had a sign for a coffee shop lol
So maybe we’ll end up with that
median stirrup
they'll just stick with the bakery
from the sign we know there's donuts and cofee/tea
- there's even a special teapot that I'm pretty sure was made specifically for the bakery
yeah
lyric zephyr
Fair tbh
I just like how this art looks and it’d look great ingame if it was given the more modernized style
median stirrup
this looks cool tho
lyric zephyr
AKA not everything being droopy and warped
median stirrup
the truck 💀
lyric zephyr
HN1 concept art type vehicle
lyric zephyr
I hope we get these raised landscape things in Fullgame HN2
median stirrup
AHH
lyric zephyr
I hope we get these raised landscape things in Fullgame HN2
Tbh the house in the second image isn’t even that Early HN2 styled with some tweaks it could fit into modern HN2
lyric zephyr
Yeah
median stirrup
this looks more new style than old style
lyric zephyr
I hope/wish they do like actual cliff faces and raised sections of land rather than just
Hills
median stirrup
it's clean, straightened out and fairly modern looking
it could very well fit in new HN2
lyric zephyr
Just has the old HN2 concept art thing of having the roof cluttered with stuff
Otherwise perfectly good for modern HN2
median stirrup
this one's fine cuz it's just windmills
it fits since there's this like whole generator thing and stuff
lyric zephyr
Not even really windmills just those like
Tiny windmill fan things kids have?

say have you ever wonder how the act 2 house was build because hello neighbor 2 takes place in act 2
median stirrup
It never existed
lyric zephyr
Yeah Act 2 didn’t fully happen
urban fulcrum
oh now i get it
lyric zephyr
All that really happened is Nicky got out of the basement and ran back home
No weird tall fences or shark puzzles
urban fulcrum
but in HN2 he's MISSING
lyric zephyr
Yeah I still think the story’s gonna change again and Quent might save Nicky idk
urban fulcrum
yeah you never know tiny build
median stirrup
If the beta actually happened (it didnt) then it'd be right after act 2 so even though he was found the posters wouldn't just magically disappear overnight
urban fulcrum
true
lyric zephyr
Fair, but also whoever Quentin’s boss is who hired him would yknow
Put him on the case
Since those are the 3 main missing cases in Raven Brooks
Like I really don’t think Quentin’s boss would show him the already saved kid as part of his job lol
urban fulcrum
but beta is not in the timeline i just a playtest tinybuild said
lyric zephyr
Yeah we know
I’m not talking about the beta
I’m talking about just in general lol
lyric zephyr
Pain
I remember thinking Quentin was a kid when we first saw him
Like the first teaser to ever show him
urban fulcrum
you know how in ST Will had a fake body

I haven’t seen stranger things
