Make hello neighbor pre alpha and alpha 1 and alpha 2 playable on MacBook

[spark vale]

Ok since these are alphas release I think it counts as HN1 I think these versions should be playable on MacBook cause why not you able to play the full release on it. You don’t gotta make every single hello neighbor playable on macbook but make at least one hello neighbor alpha for MacBook cause many people enjoy it on YouTube I even wanna play it so please do it I want at least one alpha to be on there

[novel drum]

why can't you play it

[spark vale]

Cause it’s for windows only apparently, I can only play hello neighbor full release and hello neighbor 2 cause it’s playable on MacBook. The alphas versions are windows only

[vale sequoia]

get a windows computer then

🤯

This would involve them having to PERFECTLY recreate builds that are up to a decade old because the project files were either updated into what is now hello neighbor 1's fullgame or corrupted (specifically pre-alpha)

this is not happening

[steel trout]

i mean hn1 full game and the alphas are different projects
(probably, just going off the names of the files)

[hollow blade]

from alpha 1 it's all the same project

prealpha's the only different one, and iirc it was corrupted

[steel trout]

fair ig

[vale sequoia]

it got corrupted during ai rundown and prototype stages

[vale sequoia]

exactly bro

[hollow blade]

prototype came before the pre-alpha

and nobody can seem to agree if ai rundown is after or before

[vale sequoia]

after or before steam pre alpha you mean?

[vale sequoia]

how come it would have animations for the neighbor that are only in the prototype alongside early versions of said animations being in the steam pre alpha

[hollow blade]

what does that change at all

[vale sequoia]

i was trying to specify

[hollow blade]

for what purpose

there's one pre-alpha

[vale sequoia]

theres different versions of it with small changes

[hollow blade]

because they overwrote the animations with older ones and didn't care enough to fix it

[vale sequoia]

steam one is one of them

[vale sequoia]

how would they even do that

[hollow blade]

the animations when imported just so happeend to have the same name as pre-existing ones

so ue4 automatically reimported them

replacing the animations

[hollow blade]

i don't believe that's true

[vale sequoia]

the older version of the windowjump animation is there alongside the one from the prototype

how come it would have a different name but the others wouldnt

[vale sequoia]

theres a distinct difference between multiple screenshots of pre alpha

[hollow blade]

screenshots are not playable builds

[vale sequoia]

the earliest known one is in the enviorment of the early proto

[vale sequoia]

they were playable at some point in time by the developers

[hollow blade]

they were not built and packaged into something that could be run on a computer, though

hence the name build

[vale sequoia]

then what should they be called

[hollow blade]

they were taken in the UE4 editor

[hollow blade]

screenshots, goober

they're screenshots

[vale sequoia]

cant they be called early versions tho

[hollow blade]

yes

but this has NOTHING to do with what we're talking about

[vale sequoia]

ok thats good ill call them that now

[hollow blade]

screenshots of different versions of the pre-alpha plastered around for promo doesn't make the different places you can find the pre-alpha have different builds

[vale sequoia]

oh yeah what were we talking about again

[hollow blade]

they're all the same pre-alpha build

they just took a LOT of promo screenshots from various points in time

[vale sequoia]

i still think its good to differenciate some early screenshots because like

theyre all of early steam pre alpha

[hollow blade]

they're not of early steam pre-alpha

they're just of early pre-alpha

steam doesn't have a unique version of pre-alpha

there's just one build

that we can play

[vale sequoia]

but the thing is

its a build thats outdated compared to like ai rundown

[hollow blade]

do we have the ai rundown?

no?

[vale sequoia]

no we dont

[hollow blade]

yeah exactly

because we only have the one build of the pre-alpha era stuff

[vale sequoia]

it still feels weird not falling pre alpha steam pre alpha

[hollow blade]

i feel like this is just a you thing

calling it that

[vale sequoia]

considering i once called prototype alpha -0.5 probably yeah

[hollow blade]

same reason they replaced wallpaper 22 with an updated wallpaper 13 instead of just replacing wallpaper 13

(they didn't care that much)

they weren't ever gonna re-use those announcement trailer animations

why would they try to keep track of them

[vale sequoia]

im not smart enough to know wallpapers by their name i dont know what youre talking about

[hollow blade]

okay so wallpaper 13 is like the

alpha 2 bathroom one

and old wallpaper 22 was this green tile wallpaper used in the alpha 2 player house

[vale sequoia]

interesting
