Pass the game to another Development Studio

[robust ember]

Today the Secret Neighbor state is really awful. No updates for now a whole year but players still wanting some. We know that the development of the game is paused due to Hologryph working on "Sand", but we dont even have an idea if the game will get new updates after it. If not, I think the best initiative to take is to change the studio in charge of Secret Neighbor instead of letting the game rot and having just Season "Update" with shop rotation and snow in winter. What do you think of it guys ?

[versed stratus]

I hope so, so long as it keeps its charm. We might even get crossplay or even revive the game

[fiery meteor]

yeah just like stumble guys from kitka to scopely

for some reason

[ancient pivot]

What if we pass it to ? Since they took fortnite to next levels maybe they might do same and update the game regularly
If they actually took over, maybe more mechanics, items, le may have more items, and such more updates contributed enough to alive the game

Also affiliating with epic games devs as if this server was with tinybuild. So they can post announcements and allat kind of stuff

[zealous pollen]

yea thats not happening

[zealous pollen]

its already on steam

and its made by these devs tbh i dont think they would want to collaborate with them

[twin musk]

Since they “took Fortnite to the next level” doesn’t mean they’ll do the same for SN

Also didn’t they like

Take Fall Guys off of Steam and make it only available on Epic Games?

[zealous pollen]

thats what i mean thousands of people got the game on steam, just to take it off is basically scamming people

[twin musk]

I’d say hand the development to TinyBuild Riga or whatever they are called

[ancient pivot]

they still wont change the game tho

i mean you prob right but how would they even know

i dont get it

[twin musk]

Riga is probably like a lot more competent than Hologryph

[ancient pivot]

What will they do with the game tho?

I mean there is going to be several meetings about studio adaptations but we have to wait

and the franchise could change than we ever expected

[twin musk]

Maybe like

Make the game good?

[ancient pivot]

If they owned it rn, surely they would not quit developing like it happened

[twin musk]

????

[ancient pivot]

I feel that there is not enough devs for tinybuild riga or whatever to actually control this game

[twin musk]

There probably are more than just one dev

[ancient pivot]

Like the devs didnt update for a year so hopefully they focus on it for sometime

[ancient pivot]

But wont we need loads to actually take hold of the game

just you know to help update.

[twin musk]

No we don’t?

[ancient pivot]

I mean working with a team is easier

[twin musk]

There aren’t many devs that work on SN

At least not from my knowledge

[ancient pivot]

Thats what im sayin

[twin musk]

Really?? Never knew that!!

[ancient pivot]

pretend i never said that

[twin musk]

That doesn’t make it impossible to work on a game solo

[ancient pivot]

But I'm also on about time saving and working alone on major updates takes a while

Just concerned

[twin musk]

The updates don’t need to be major my guy

[ancient pivot]

but that makes things cool and then the game would be cooking

[edgy venture]

no

have you seen fortnite within the last day

[fiery meteor]

secret neighbor is a indie game sooo, but it could be more than 20 devs

[dense fern]

I'm surprised that almost everyone likes this idea...

[twin musk]

Because Hologryph isn’t competent

[ancient pivot]

OK.

[ancient pivot]

That should do.

[ancient pivot]

We'll scrap that idea. But what other studio tho if we cant hand it over to epic
I have some other suggestions

[twin musk]

TinyBuild Riga

[ancient pivot]

Sure but what do others think about that

[fiery meteor]

wait really?

how

[robust ember]

Mmh I don't think it's worst now ? Well the game regain a lot of popularity and they added a lot of gamemodes/maps

[robust ember]

Why don't you like it ? I really want to know

Don't tell me the actual state of the game is good..

[robust ember]

Oh I see, well I just haven't played it since that

[ancient pivot]

no epic games then?

[twin musk]

Geez

[ancient pivot]

wowie

[reef acorn]

hi guys

in my mind the game is in a great state and first all i want them to do is change the flashlight sprite and buff every character and thats it no need for giving it to a another studio

[twin musk]

the game is not in a great state

its awful

[fiery meteor]

yeah that's all YOU want and not what WE want

[ancient pivot]

I think we're good thank you mateyand we're mainly talking about development studios atm not esclating it

[ripe forge]

1. Hologryph is owned by tinyBuild

2. Give them a chance, they haven't even released sand yet

[ancient pivot]

I dont think anyone will mate they wasn't bothered to make time for atleast 1 small update

[ripe forge]

It takes a lot of time and people to even make a small update

Also if they want to focus on Sand then they should, if it fails they have to go back to sn, but I don't think they've abandoned sn completely coz it is still holding up well

[ancient pivot]

If they dont update sn after sand then it proves otherwise and that answers the question

[ripe forge]

yes

[ancient pivot]

But lets ses its a 50/50 and im not bothered to argue about this rn

[pulsar pilot]

Perhaps NetEase for the iOS version, since their more like…professional for iOS games. Ive talked about this before https://discord.com/channels/474299944254308373/1205584526605025381

[ancient pivot]

ok??

[unique vapor]

Why?

[ripe forge]

That's not true, they instantly balanced Otto in the next update

[twin musk]

“Instantly”

my brother in Christ they told people to play leader in a update that added a new class

We had to wait 3 months or something to get a update

And then he was balanced

Does that sound instant to you?

And all they did was change some values to balance him

[jolly lynx]

this.. is something

[ancient pivot]

Where did you get this? I would like to see the full message from him

[twin musk]

Search it up in #secret-neighbor

And that IS the full message

[ancient pivot]

K

[ancient pivot]

Maybe the complaining dude sat there speechless bcuz he wasn't bothered for a solution

[unique vapor]

They made him from OP to Trash, that not balance at all. And it still doesn't justify them.

[ancient pivot]

I guess we found a counter to his shotgun

[ripe forge]

He's not trash

[unique vapor]

He is

[ancient pivot]

You're right. Literally his shotgun is NOT a shotgun. In fact when I'm all the way across the map and Otto looks at me, yes he shoots but I somehow take damage. They literally copied the sniper shotgun from fn kinda

[robust ferry]

He’s actually not that trash if you play him properly and smart. @amber hinge proves this with his clips as Taxidermist

[amber hinge]

at this point they should just replace the shotgun to something else i really liked portable soner the ability of closing gate and close keycard doors from far away does make taxidermist more skilled to play and master but it's being overshadowed by the shotgun just like scary neighbor where they sometime forget they have traps and disguise kit, only use rage ability, i been thinking about coming up with something to redesign taxidermist shotgun or fully replace the ability but i know in fact i will get too much disliked just like what happened to my leader idea but should I give it a try i have few ideas to replace or rebalanced taxidermist

[unique vapor]

90% of the community can't play the game, so its hard to decide. I still think that he need a buff

[unique vapor]

Good idea

[dense fern]

Because scary neighbor too op so you can win just by only one ability

[dense fern]

Btw i think completely remove shotgun not the best idea

I really like play on taxidermist by combat way, you can throw 1-2 items on kid and then finish him by shot

[dense fern]

Because this is their game, they are its creators, only they know this game better than anyone and know how every line of code works in it, the game that you like is made by their hands, and if you liked it, then it's their merit (of course if you like the game itself, not the concept)

[dense fern]

.

[dense fern]

I'm not saying that the game it's good rn, but if it got some patch fixes, it will be great.

Hologryph also not the best developers, but it's either them or nobody, since this game will seem like a trash to most companies.

[ancient pivot]

Proves my point that nobody would want to take over a dead game except Hologryph

[amber hinge]

oh yeah i remembered i have seen some taxidermist using that strategy it's very smart

i will try to think of something to rebalance the shotgun

[honest cosmos]

tb has a say in what goes pretty much, but they are NOT the devs

ik im super late to thi sbut

yeah

[twin musk]

honestly looking at it now yeah they might not be the perfect devs for this game

but i think i only said that cause i don't know any one else that could take over

[ancient pivot]

How so? Is it because they aren't "competent"

[honest cosmos]

They don't even develop games

They're the publishing label

[twin musk]

I’m talking about TinyBuild RIGA

Not TinyBuild

[ancient pivot]

He knew you were talking about riga and yes its the publishing label

[astral stump]

Bad idea. Who knows what the other game studio decides to add...

[twin musk]

you act like hologryph is doing any good lmao

hologryph has no idea how to communicate to their community and gives us steaming hot garbage updates

hologryph could care less about us lol

[twin musk]

Developer: tinyBuild Riga

[astral stump]

Like you 100% know that the new studio will do better

[twin musk]

Yeah, a new studio would do better

[astral stump]

You cant know gor sure man. New studio could be money greedy, and they will add 1K microtransactions and overall make SN p2w

[twin musk]

Slow down buddy

Not every company is EA

[astral stump]

Or the new studio can start adding many imbalanced characters, like Taxidermidt

[twin musk]

Holo has literally been doing that

The game is bad

A new studio could do better than holo

I don’t like holo

At all

I hate being angry at the devs but I honestly think it’s true

They can do good if they try but it’s like they don’t even try

Yeah

They just left us without saying a word

[fiery meteor]

fr they are ghosting us

like they can still doing on this game rather than doing new game

this game has many potential

[ancient pivot]

Well it has come to this year that sn's regular updates has ended, now its recalled "dead" and we dont know when it will ever happen. Atleast the servers are online...😐

[astral stump]

Hologryph studio is also very small, and is located in Ukraine if I'm not mistaken

[ancient pivot]

Thats why we need to pass the game onto a bigger studio

[fiery meteor]

its been a year and the game doesn't even have any updates

tbh if this game has ranked things it will gain popularity imo

[edgy venture]

no?

[fiery meteor]

ok

[twin musk]

What is that supposed to mean

[fiery meteor]

nvm

[ancient pivot]

He meant there would be a ranking system like fortnite did and ranked things meant as rewards unless im incorrect

[twin musk]

Ok yeah no

We don’t need this game to be fortnite

[ancient pivot]

It won't. Trust me they will abandon making updates for the ranked system soon enough.

[ancient pivot]

Sn has its own unique style so we dont need to be copying others as well

[ancient pivot]

Why'd u ping a mod

[smoky moat]

its all good, he didn't ping me here as a mod but as a friend.

[ancient pivot]

Oh mb

[ripe blade]

I like this idea
