Bring back the old darkness and hn1 style🙏

[bright veldt]

Please bring back the old style! The game is a multiplayer of the first part of hello neighbor, the old style is much more atmospheric, the old graphics were better and did not require a powerful computer. The graphics of secret neighbor were more like a separate game during paranormal update, and now you just mixed the style of Hello Neighbor 2, Hello Neighbor, and Hello Guest. Not only is the new style ugly, it also has a bunch of bugs, such as objects getting stuck. And if you look at the trailer, you can see that the graphics are not even close to the one you showed in the trailer. Also, bring back the darkness from the Paranormal Update, because when there were 2 slots, a flashlight in one of them was necessary, and it made sense, now the lantern is completely miserable, it does not even illuminate the path normally, no one uses it and everyone walks with a lamp, the darkness is not the same as before, because of what the presence of a flashlight in the inventory is only necessary so that there is something to beat a neighbor with. When there was old darkness, it was possible to hide from a neighbor in the dark corners of the map when you were running away from him. I really did it and it almost always worked, the neighbor walked on and I ran away, the darkness was great, just like the old style, so please bring back the darkness and the old style hn1

That already made the game darker in the winter update

[bright veldt]

it is not like paranormal update

now

paranormal update

which of these is more atmospheric

[torn rose]

I miss the old style but i doubt they're going to bring it back. i think the devs confirmed it

[versed ridge]

I reeeally miss the volumetric light

[brittle sage]

If the older grathics came back all the people cames back and new people came in

[green pumice]

I think those people are waiting on a graphic toggle update that will probably never come

Because let’s be honest those people who miss the HN1 one style if they could have it back, they would switch back to it and forget the HN2 art Style ever happened

[torn rose]

The graphics toggle would increase the file size of the game and have desync problems, the maps literally somewhat changed cause of the revamp

[green pumice]

I thought of a few ways to fix that by simply have two different servers one that uses the original art style and the other that uses the HN2 of course this would only fix the desync issue and not the file size

Because let’s be honest, if the game had two different servers, and all that was different was just the art style and content was the exact same The only thing it would fix would be the desync

And finally, the only reason this would work is so people could simply have the content from before the Hello Neighbor 2 update so if you chose the HN1 server then you would only have up to Halloween 2022 The simple answer is if you want the old art style back you get no new content, but if you want to stick to the HN2 style, you get to keep all the content

I can’t think of any other way that they could possibly make that happen

Because clearly Journalist and taxidermist were never meant to be seen in the HN1 art style

[torn rose]

Two different servers would split up the player base and make it somewhat harder to enter lobbies. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it's a bad idea. I'm just looking through the eyes of a developer here

[broken oar]

that’s sick ngl

[bright veldt]

Yes, because it's ugly, its only use is for Halloween

[bright veldt]

this can be prevented by slightly changing the art-style of hn2, making it more your own, and not just copying and pasting objects. You can also not add the style change function, but add the hn2 style only for Halloween

[bright veldt]

I've never seen a bagger, brave, detective in hn2

[bright veldt]

You can prevent out of sync by randomly choosing the art-style between hn1 and hn2 when playing quick match, but isn't it better to just get rid of hn2?

[bright veldt]

Why? if you haven't forgotten, this game is horror, and in horror lighting plays a significant part, at the moment the night is just terrible, there is no night, everything is bright and visible. There was an atmosphere in paranormal update, there were even sounds of crickets at night. and now what? The emotions of dancing, yes it fits the horror game

[shrewd osprey]

I agree I loved the old graphics especially the flashlights(seriously I love those flashlight designs ) and the new graphics are nice and all but I want hn1 style back

[ancient depot]

Old flashlight design is SO much better

And better lighting

[odd topaz]

The new flashlight looks just like what my grandma bought at temu💀

[odd topaz]

I can confirm I'm quitting anyday brother.

[sweet moat]

It was removed shortly after so even before the new style we could see in the dark

[sweet moat]

and that's not related to the new style of the game, it's just that you can see in the dark

not very nice to lie

[bright veldt]

Yes, that's why the title of this post says "bring back old darkness AND hn1 style"

[south turret]

@sweet moat is the only sad person here😭💀

[ashen ferry]

realy? this is so good if they can.

i realy love Old Flashlight for max fov.

i hope they bring back

[torn rose]

like i said, i doubt they're going to bring it back since they said they won't get rid of quentin and otto

[ashen ferry]

ok

i hope

i gtg its night for me

bye

[jade root]

I mean they don't need to remove Quentin and Otto to add back old style we still have old kids and neighbors in hn1 style so
Ye but I rather prefer them making hn2 just better

[river shard]

I miss game was looking like a cartoon graphics then it turn into a realistic graphics

[abstract jay]

same

i miss the old times of the game in 2019/2020

[vernal nimbus]

While it's true that there's a decent portion of the player base that misses the HN1 style, going along with an update like this would be incredibly time consuming and take away from other (and in my opinion more important) aspects of the game that desperately need improvement. It's just more effort than it's worth ya know?

[bright veldt]

If I understand correctly, do you mean that this update cannot be removed because of other more important details in it? this is not a problem, I'm not say to remove this update and return the old version.

Just return old style in new update

Or what you mean?

[vernal nimbus]

Sort of. What I'm trying to say is that the it took the devs a ton of time to update every object, door, cabinet, etc. in the process of switching to the HN2 style. So it would take a similarly long time to switch all those props back to the HN1 artstyle. Not to mention all the time and effort that was put in to switch styles will have been wasted.

[bright veldt]

Maybe so, but this time will not be wasted, players like it + it is more optimized

[torn rose]

I can understand why they changed from hn1 style, but i feel like it could have implimented a bit better. I highly doubt they'll go back to the old style, I'm really just wanting them to optimize the game.

[sweet moat]

well give a different feedback then

and in the feedback you insinuate a little that it's because of the new update that the darkness disappeared

[bright veldt]

No i dont say this

[sweet moat]

It was just an impression

[bright veldt]

this all relates to graphical changes, why should I separate them? I just asked for the schedule from 2021 to be returned.

[sweet moat]

because it's just two different things

[bright veldt]

No, this is all about graphics

[sweet moat]

but the models are something else
