Alright, Enough is enough, We were promised in the roadmap/dev log 3 that HN2 would be getting new content this year. It stated we would get multiple new characters, Multiple new locations. And weather or not he was serious, Adam said in Devlog 3, there would be another chapter (when he was talking about the tapes) Hello Neighbor 2 is fine with bugs, fine with stability, fine with optimization, There is like no one here asking for more small things like trampolines, new assets, or animations. HN2 needs something big, or its going to die. I mean they really just dont care. I am adding multiple characters, Multiple locations, new mechanics, and optimization in my game. I am a single developer with 1 year of experience. All of that I have made this week. I dont even want to bring up the console patches lmao

To be fair to the devs, they're being rushed with monthly updates. It's already probably difficult for them to work on the features they've been adding with only a month of development time, but modeling new houses and adding new characters must be even worse. I assume they're probably working on the chunky stuff in the roadmap in the background

#

and please don't brag about your game - it comes off as a bit rude

quiet reef
#

the game doesnt even feel like a finished product

#

it just feels like early access

#

the game really needed more time in the oven

quiet reef
deft burrow
#

funny how SW worked on HN2, and HN2 also restarted development halfway through

#

just like security breach

quiet reef
#

I just wish hn2 didnt restart

#

what they had was good

#

theres a lot of evidence that a lot of things in hnvr come before hn2 restarted

#

and it makes me incredibly sad

#

I dont want to hate hn2 but its current state is just making me sad

#

and the worst part is that it cant even be considered canon because of the plotholes

deft burrow
quiet reef
#

Aaron being the main thing

quiet reef
#

if only they kept the story and gameplay on the same level

#

but they seemed to have made so many bad decisions that just made things worse

deft burrow
# quiet reef the beta was still not that bad

I'm pretty sure the beta was made to trick people into buying the game
to me it's obvious that it was thrown together very quickly, judging by the reused assets and AI's that even worse than FG

quiet reef
#

I dont get why Nikita was replaced

#

they say he just needed a "break"

#

but that like doesnt make any sense

#

Its a shame the direction hello neighbor went

#

theres just a lot of missed potential with hn2

#

and im starting to doubt Hn2 can ever be redeemed even with patches

#

the last 8 didnt do much all things considered

deft burrow
quiet reef
#

and the fact Nicky`s house is just an ugly generic bg house just shows the lack of care put into this game

#

they really couldnt bother to give nicky`s house its very own model?

#

they had one in alpha 2

deft burrow
quiet reef
#

in its current state hn2 cant even be considered canon

deft burrow
quiet reef
#

I dont really trust alex

deft burrow
#

I don't either

quiet reef
#

alex says a lot of questionable things

#

and he makes so many dumb decisions

#

I really hope the AS doesnt start affecting the games

#

because it made so many dumb and useless changes to the lore that just make everything worse

deft burrow
past tapir
#

plus idk I think patch 9 is taking a while is because HN Search and Rescue came out maybe they might plan for updates for that too

quiet reef
#

still I dont get why alex just decided to throw away years worth of lore for no good reason

#

which only seemed to piss off the fans

#

I really dont like the direction this franchise is heading

#

and I feel like hnvr might be the last good hello neighbor game

#

which just makes me incredibly sad

#

the AS is just embracing everything that is wrong with this franchise

winter imp
#

Sorry if saying what I'm doing with my game felt like bragging, I'm just trying to show how easy it is to actually add content

quiet reef
#

its just frustrating me beyond belief

#

im unsure If ill stick around much longer

winter imp
#

Same here

deft burrow
past tapir
#

and also Alex said they had over a lot of people working on HN2 the same guys who were also working on the AS

quiet reef
#

it just feels like theres like no shits given about the old fans and their main target audience are 6 year olds who watch youtube

fierce sonnet
#

Yea they should tie hn 2 to old lore more in my opinion it fits much better with the games

quiet reef
#

I just want the games to tie into eachother at the very least

past tapir
#

I feel like after HN2 is done and the AS is done too HN will end idk that's my best guess

quiet reef
#

the books arent coming back

#

alex is stuck in his own AS bubble

deft burrow

#

ngl I'm just bored playing video games atm I was hoping patch 9 would come out today

#

I do like the updates HN2 is going for they're actually make them longer

#

instead of weekly

quiet reef
#

I just hope the rights (if they arent stuck in a legal mess) go to someone way more competent

past tapir
#

which was their original plan to release the updates in

quiet reef
#

seeing how alex is completely ignoring what the fans want

deft burrow
past tapir
#

yikes

quiet reef
#

BBB?

deft burrow
deft burrow
#

when the devs open this feedback they're gonna see a long discussion about the state of tB lol

past tapir
#

found one

quiet reef
#

and tb just ghosted them?

#

YIKES

past tapir
#

big yikes

quiet reef
#

im pretty sure the switch description still implies neural network

past tapir
#

I checked the reviews for HN2 on Xbox and they were all bad reviews

#

the rating for the xbox was 3 stars I think

quiet reef
deft burrow
#

that's a 60% if it's exactly three stars

quiet reef
#

the website still has it

#

let me check the console itself

past tapir
#

old game description

deft burrow
past tapir
#

maybe they kept the old version and the old description

#

like I said before they most likely rushed out the Switch port

#

that's why it didn't seemed to be optimized well on Switch

fierce sonnet
#

Well the Xbox description is outdated too

deft burrow
fierce sonnet
past tapir
#

but to add on there was no announcement for it coming on Switch it just came out the minute December 6th came

fierce sonnet
quiet reef
#

could tb actually get sued for this???

winter imp
#

Yes lol

quiet reef
#

im surprised they werent already

winter imp
#

Me too lol

past tapir
#

I hate seeing HN like this but the chances are already high they already screwed up

quiet reef
#

considering they just ghosted BBB

quiet reef
#

what will happen to hello neighbor when tinybuild goes under?

past tapir
#

I'd like to see another company manage HN alongside with Eerie Guest Studios maybe we would get a scary HN game but idk how it would be handled

deft burrow
past tapir
#

definitely not Steel Wool though but HN search and rescue looks really nice I like it but however it's bug filled from what I've heard

quiet reef
#

hn abandoned horror ages ago

deft burrow
fierce sonnet
#

Hello guest man perfect atmosphere like I freaking love it

past tapir
#

if HG released I probably think a rated t rating would fit it

quiet reef
#

hn wasnt scary since alpha 2

winter imp
#

Hn abandoned horror at alpha 4 lol

#

Yeah true

deft burrow
#

I honestly would just like the trauma story to stick around - if the games are fun, then I don't care if it's not freaking terrifying
mascot horror games need more unique plots

sharp granite
fierce sonnet
past tapir
#

the fear rooms and the shadow thing were probably one of the scariest points in HN

sharp granite
fierce sonnet
#

It doesn’t have to be like very scary

past tapir
#

but other than that that's it

sharp granite
#

but not alpha 4

quiet reef
#

I just checked the E shop

sharp granite
#

ok?

deft burrow
quiet reef
#

it still implies neural network

winter imp
#

Omg lol

past tapir
#

they have this cool render of the neighbor not sure if this is present in other console stores

quiet reef
#

same as the website

fierce sonnet
#

Same with Xbox description

#

For standard

#

Deluxe got updated to new description though just weird that standard still has the old description

past tapir
#

when I first bought HN2 on the Switch I was excited to play it but the minute I played it I was confused

#

there was no second floor on the Neighbor's house and the puzzles were altered

#

I checked on Youtube and apparently the Switch was a different build

deft burrow
# quiet reef

the fact that the amusement park was included in the description even after HG changed to HN2 tells me that it was supposed to be a segment in the game

past tapir
#

but I later bought it a week after I got HN2 on my Switch

past tapir
#

yup

fierce sonnet
#

Like I was so excited for the amusement

#

Park lol

past tapir
#

way more easier to beat lol

#

the Mayor still uses the beta jukebox

#

however it only has the dance song

deft burrow
fierce sonnet
#

I really really hope amusement park gets added

#

Like cmon it would be so good man

deft burrow
fierce sonnet
quiet reef
#

wait

#

I just realised why the 2nd floor is so bad

#

its because it was made last minute with bassically 0 thought put into it

deft burrow
quiet reef
#

thats why the layout sucked at launch

past tapir
#

I'm guessing Switch updates won't come until early 2024 or maybe a few months from now

fierce sonnet
deft burrow
deft burrow
past tapir
#

I wanna see what HN2 on the Switch looks like when it gets updated

quiet reef
#

like the first floor is good

winter imp
quiet reef
#

but then the whole house gets ruined by the awful 2nd floor

#

in patch 8 it got a bit better

#

but its still the worst version of the peterson house

fierce sonnet
#

But it’s way better

past tapir
#

HN1 and Hide and Seek got a nice port for Switch

fierce sonnet

SN got a good port too

more comments then my post imo

fierce sonnet
#

I don’t get why they don’t update standard edition description on Xbox

#

Did they forget to update it?

past tapir
#

they probably did

quiet reef
#

I just wish hn2 was more like hnvr

#

steel wool did an amazing job

fierce sonnet
#

I love the beta I’m gonna say it I freaking loved it because it had some really cool ideas

quiet reef
#

also gotta love how hn2 is non canon because they decided to add Aaron in the game

past tapir
#

what if Steel Wool made HN2

quiet reef
#

even thought the original story did not have him

quiet reef
#

but those were probably even more rushed than the full game

fierce sonnet
#

In the background

#

For example

#

And pie mechanic

deft burrow
quiet reef
past tapir
#

the background for HN2 late fees looks really different it had more of a bluish tint atmosphere

fierce sonnet
#

Hm hello guest got updated 3 days ago

deft burrow
fierce sonnet
#

It’s nothing added

#

But it’s weird that it got updated

#

Also 24 days ago

past tapir
#

they're probably fixing bugs and making it polished so that it stays nice

past tapir
#

but that's a good question though

#

they still care for HG

fierce sonnet
#

Much the latest months

#

Also 24 days ago

quiet reef
deft burrow
#

and weren't notififed of the delay

fierce sonnet
#

Since it’s an alpha

quiet reef
#

also another thing that really rubs me the wrong way is how the guest is handled in the full game

#

they removed so much about him

#

they change the intro to not introduce him

#

instead the neighbor gets more screentime instead

fierce sonnet
#

The latest months

quiet reef
#

like the way hn2 was made feels like it was made to exlude the guest as much as possible

fierce sonnet
#

Every build seems to have been updated

#

Beta too

deft burrow
quiet reef
#

the most dumbass reason to remove him from the game

deft burrow
#

ikr

quiet reef
#

also he already appears in hnvr

past tapir
#

but also they couldn't find him have a use to the story for HN2

#

but that's what they're trying to find out rn

quiet reef
#

Aaron being the game also annoys me because hnvr shows he cant be in hn2 especially they way he is rn

glacial kestrel
#

PC players are mad about content, meanwhile console players sitting on patch 2, and switch players being promised at least patch 0 in a date that has already passed I believe

quiet reef
#

Im surprised that alex somehow became a CEO of a company

glacial kestrel
#

Switch was supposed to be updated in May right?

past tapir
#

when they said HN2 takes place after the events of HN1 it just doesn't feel like it

#

yup

quiet reef
#

because he keeps making so many dumb decisions

deft burrow
glacial kestrel
#

This game is a joke

#

I've never seen a more poorly handled franchise

quiet reef
#

alex seems to be making like the worst possible decisions possible

past tapir
#

when I saw the roadmap I was excited for the Switch updates

deft burrow
past tapir
#

but months have passed now

quiet reef
deft burrow
past tapir
#

100,000$ seemed good enough

glacial kestrel
#

Hello neighbor 1

#

Youtubers flipped over that game

quiet reef
#

alex getting directly involved with the story and games is like the worst thing to happen to hn

past tapir
#

people probably didn't know about the kickstarter

quiet reef
#

when tb bankrupts at least he wont be interfering with the plot

past tapir
#

back then

deft burrow
quiet reef
#

I hope whoever gets the rights to hello neighbor actually listens to the fans

glacial kestrel
#

Implying that the franchise won't just die with tb

#

They seem like the kind of company to be so stubborn that they release some stupid "conclusion" to the franchise and end it just so no one else can have it

quiet reef
glacial kestrel
#

Since they seem pretty dedicated to ensuring that hn fans never receive good games with all their promises

quiet reef
#

gotta love how they made a model for nicky`s house

#

only to remove it in the beta

fierce sonnet
#

Of Nickys house?

deft burrow
#

for alpha 2

quiet reef
#

yes

#

in alpha 2

#

you can see it in E3 trailer

#

and some screenshots

fierce sonnet
#

Why did they remove it?

quiet reef
deft burrow
#

why did they remove neural network? why did they remove open world?
it's just another quesiton we don't have an answer to

quiet reef
#

you can see it here

fierce sonnet
#

And not just some random house

past tapir
#

I mean it looks like it most likely

fierce sonnet
#

Damn

#

Well that sucks

quiet reef
#

sorry for the dumb motion blur

#

you can tell its his house

#

right across the neighbor`s house

fierce sonnet
deft burrow
#

at this point I think the sewers under the park was a teaser for HNVR

past tapir
fierce sonnet
#

Looks more alive

quiet reef
#

I feel bad for nikita

past tapir
#

the neighbor's house being on top of a hill looks nice

#

but it was odd

quiet reef
#

he had his game get burned into the ground

deft burrow
fierce sonnet
#

Like i loved the destroyed town idea

quiet reef
#

best case scenario is that nikita gets the rights back after tb bankrupts

fierce sonnet
#

Like I freaking loved it so much

past tapir
#

I think alpha 2 was supposed to come out early winter around 2020 or 2021 Alex said it during the showcase stream

deft burrow

past tapir
#

their plans most likely changed

#

who would fund another four years of development?

#

I miss old hn 2 every day

deft burrow
fierce sonnet
#

I like the new art style but idk man I like old one as well

past tapir
#

same but I guess what's done is done

#

old artstyle felt more like HN1 but busted up

fierce sonnet
#

I usually replay the beta

#

It’s so nostalgic for me

past tapir
#

Gerda's bakery was nice and big in the Beta especially maybe it was her kitchen

fierce sonnet
#

Full game kitchen feels more like a regular kitchen

past tapir
#

and also Gerda seems to be the only person working there

#

the beta had a lot of stations

fierce sonnet
#

Also the map felt more alive in my opinion

#

I loved the map being less town and more landscape

#

Not that I don’t want a town

#

I just want a town with more landscape and more foliage

past tapir
#

I remember saying in the Beta that I would break into the Mayor's house first

quiet reef
past tapir
#

and then Gerda

quiet reef
#

I really just want hn to redeem itself

fierce sonnet
#

And I miss the non linear structure

#

As well

quiet reef
#

but alex seems dead set on steering it in the worse possible direction

past tapir
#

but in the FG you have to go where the game tells you to go to

deft burrow
#

this discussion has ruined the point of this feedback thread

fierce sonnet
quiet reef
#

I hate what alex is doing to this franchise

past tapir
#

the watch notification was a nice mechanic but it should've said like clue found or something

fierce sonnet
#

I liked watch notifications

past tapir
#

most people were confused on what it did

fierce sonnet
#

And the more advanced pinboard

quiet reef
#

it wont help

#

hn2 needs a major overhaul

#

in its current form theres just a lot of issues

deft burrow
#

june 1 was yesterday

fierce sonnet
#

Oh and the sleeping mechanic was really good

#

In my opinion

#

Also idk why but I miss having museum and raven brooks banner be infront of each other

quiet reef
#

it was the classic thing of having the neighbor live right across the street from the player

#

I liked it

fierce sonnet
quiet reef
#

it set up that he was the main goal

fierce sonnet
#

He actually kind of was you’re neighbour in the beta

#

Since he was hiding in the museum which in beta was right infront of Quentin office

#

While in full game they are way further apart from each other

deft burrow

#

as of now it’s super linear

its questionable

#

that reminds me

#

I miss the alpha 2 terrain

#

fg feels too flat

fierce sonnet
#

The beta one also felt less flat

#

And had more hills

#

They should add more hills and grass

#

And foliage overal

quiet reef
#

Quentin is on top of WCR

fierce sonnet
#

Damn

#

This looks cool

#

Im really sad old art style didn’t get finished

I hope they bring some elements of old art style back

To be honest

Also 6 months isn't a lot of time, making games takes a while. There's still a lot of time left for them to finish the new content

What is this suggestion...
They are first polishing what we have and then gonna add more after that

#

Isn’t the game polished yet?

#

Im not

#

On pc

rigid wasp
#

We need Mayor front door fix before Guest update

fierce sonnet
turbid flower
#

no

#

patch 10 should be the last

fierce sonnet
#

Yea

#

True

#

Then content updates

rigid wasp
#

I think they should add boxes, blocking doors with chairs and Mayor's security system, and the Bakery should be bigger

fierce sonnet
#

But maybe it’s all coming in patch 9 since it’s taking longer to make

rigid wasp
#

I doubt that

worldly chasm
#

Thats what we said about Patch 8 too..

rigid wasp
#

Patch 8 took a month and it basically only had Peterson's house revamp

fierce sonnet
#

Ik i sound impatient but I’m really hoping patch 9 will have some lore added and more

turbid flower
#

I doubt we'd have Mayor's security system in patch 9

#

thats prob gonna be a patch 10 thing

worldly chasm
#

I want the Fire extungiusher animation for the Ai...

turbid flower
#

I think we'll have Bakery revamp in patch 9, and if we're lucky we could get Taxidermist house revamp too

rigid wasp
#

I think patch 9 will have chair blocking because it was already almost done in the files of patch 8

turbid flower
#

thats what we said about Mayor's security system

#

so

#

Im kinda skeptical if we'll get chair blocking feature in patch 9

rigid wasp
#

Mayor's security system only has sounds in the files, chair blocking has code sounds and animations

turbid flower
#

it is a possibilty tho

fierce sonnet
#

It’s likely

turbid flower
#

hopefully

rigid wasp
#

I hope so too

fierce sonnet
#

Also I really really hope some day now I’m talking content updates we will get golden apple amusement park

rigid wasp
#

Yeah having a big open amusement park to explore would be so amazing

It's heavily hinting at a bigger update than just a patch

I'd like to see the heavy hints that aren't just "it might take longer than normal"

patch 8 was the biggest?

how?

sure it revamped the neighbor's house and the landscape

but, it didnt add any new stuff

it didnt add any new feature or a new location

#

every patch(except 5 and 8) added a new feature

#

patch 6 was the first patch to add a new location

Yea patch 8 was good but it didnt add any stuff Besides barn and act 1 house

patch 1 - paint can
patch 2 - beartrap | tapes
patch 3 - new catch animations | tape recorder
patch 4 - prob the update which added a lot of new stuff
patch 5 - added nothing other than RTX
patch 6 - yayyy our first new location: catacombs | closet anim
patch 7 - tool rack | AI noticing your footsteps
patch 8 - didnt add any new stuff, but heavily revamped existing stuff
