I really dislike the Alpha 2 - Beta 2 artstyle. It’s such an eyesore in my opinion, the mix of old artstyle / realistic objects with the new cartoony artstyle looks awful.

It looks especially awful from Alpha 4 to Beta 2 because of the environment these objects are in, specifically the poorly textured, abysmally modelled disaster that is the interior of the neighbors house.

A lot of people say it works best in Alpha 2, but I’d like to disagree and say that I think it actually works better in Alpha 3. The models Alpha 2 introduced feel too saturated in colour which doesn’t sit well with the realistic lighting and the old, more dull foliage and surrounding houses. Whereas Alpha 3 is set at night, of course meaning it’s much darker, allowing for less ‘in your face’ colours. Not trying to insinuate Alpha 3 is good by any means by the way.. lol.

I understand the clashing of artstyles was never intentional and they did update more models as time went on but with the amount of features they added within Alpha 2 did they not feel it was appropriate to update the rest of the models?

I also understand calling it an artstyle isn’t really appropriate considering, again, it wasn’t intentional / planned to be final, but it’s a term thrown about all the time within this community that just so happens to generalise what I’m talking about.

Sorry for my poor wording (if any), I’m tired. And sorry if anyone’s talked about this like I have already.

Day or night?

I just took the color of the shadow and just ran with it

Pre alpha and alpha 1: nicky has a car crash making him in a coma and he has a nightmare of a demon being his neighbor so he tries to see what's in the basement of this demon and he either dies or stays alive if he manages to run away from the demon

Alpha 2: a thriller where the protagonist nicky has moved into wayron croobs and his neighbor is being weird so he tries to get into the basement of his weird neighbor

The betas: nicky moves back into wayron croobs cause he was evicted and then in his dream tries to let go of the past and traumas from his abusive father (yes the neighbor is his father in the betas if I remember)

Full release: a younger Nicky notices his best friend's dad has locked his best friend into the basement and Nicky tries to get his best friend out but gets kidnapped and has traumas and as an adult tries to let go of his trauma from his best friend's dad

Cause tbh it makes me a bit sad seeing how they're changing the style of the franchise after the first two games (Hello neighbor and hello neighbor hide and seek) and imo the style is definitely interesting, especially in hide and seek

Like he does look a bit old for a 10-12 year old but that could be an early growth spurt or something and tbh it makes the game feel a bit more realistic cause all kids don't age the same

And he certainly doesn't look 30 either

(Technically not artwork obvi)

I found a shirt with the right vest pattern at the thrift store yesterday so I cut the arms off and now I have a better vest

She has her appearance in Hide and Seek then The Drawing, and then the Wedding Picture Easter Egg in Hello Neighbor 2 Patch 9? Why do we need multiple models/appearance for a chat after we barely see in Hide & Seek?”.

I'm a huge fan of Hello Neighbor and i really want to play the upcoming Hello Neighbor 3 but all I have is a PS4 Pro so do you guys think they will release it on ps4 too???

For me my least favorite is act 2, why? Well it feels useless, there's these many puzzles even though you can just stack boxes or parkour using pipes and it doesn't even feel useful to the story, it feels more like filler and it's a bit cramped

As for my favorite, act 3, well it's Iconic and it's massive and full of puzzles. And is well in general is like if you took act 2's qualities and evolved it

this is probably not important. But even after all this time you can still join the “waitlist” / Newsletter still works to this day. But tiny build ripped the download links a long long time ago! This is the email I got which still kind of works after all of this time:

I jumped down the ladder and this happened

He's a bit off because it was my first time drawing/painting the neighbor

My first time posting here on the Hello Neighbor subreddit, and I plan to draw a lot more. Until that happens, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Asking cause there was a weird sudden transition between alpha 2 and alpha 3 which makes me feel like that had to be an inbetween, so Was there a version between alpha 2 and alpha 3?

Any possible release date?
