Hello Neighbour 2014 - 2021

[@that_one_guy_named_rami]

This game really felt like a horror game up until Alpha 3. Once Alpha 4 came up, the game felt less like a horror game and just kind of like a puzzle game. And wow, never knew that this game was in development since 2014.

[@TimeWisely]

Hello Neighbor is honestly one of those games that had no idea what it was doing. It's development changeed so much, and it's core gameplay never remained the same. I think this is why it became disliked, the final product was literally a puzzle game, not even a horror game. While the first version, the neighbor was actually intimidating. Also, i don't think the first build was real, it seemed like an animation. the "Live development" thing doesn't make sense. Why is the quality so different in every other build? It's almost like they were releasing old builds instead of actual up to date builds.

[@sackbanana9746]

It was also disliked because in act 1 the neighbor can glitched inside of the red key room without the red key

The first build is a animation from what the game was supposed to be, of course it looks way better from what we have currently

liminal spaces in video games

[@arson1tez]

There are 4 elements that, in my opinion, made the earlier versions scarier[Prototype - Alpha 2]. 1. The Atmosphere - It had a more realistic art style and was sending a message to the viewer that it is a horror game. The ambience and the emptiness really sells the game and gives off a vibe similar to liminal spaces. 2. The Claustrophobia - The tight hallways and the house being relatively smaller in scale is what made it scarier since you could run to the neighbor at any moment. Not to mention that screwing up when being chased will end up in you getting caught. 3. The AI - Yes, the AI was so much better back then. The neighbor wasn't an annoyance and actually made sure that you wouldn't repeat the same tactics. Now, you can just abuse the bugs and even disable the traps that the neighbor sets up. 4. The Blank Face - The neighbor's emotionless face makes him creepier in my opinion. It makes him look inhuman, as if he really is a psychopath hiding something. Now, with the emotions it's like he's just some normal guy who is annoyed with you repeatedly trespassing his property.

[@ssf1470]

​ @Kitelonga i played the pre-alpha and alpha 1. the games before alpha 3 were so much more psychological. you're at a constant tension and don't want to get caught cuz its so sinister. the other games, being caught is just annoying and you barely even have to worry about it when you get to certain levels, making it boring. in alpha 4 it was just like a puzzle game, palatable to all audiences, but playing it was just fustrating.

[@stefanjelisavac4217]

It's honestly sad, how the earliest version of Hello Neighbour basically a Pre-Alpha, not even fully textured or animated yet, has better neighbour AI mechanic's than the newer versions. The fact that you could set up traps, push drawers in-front of doors and all of that to try and keep the Neighbour out as long as possible, was honestly much better than what we received in the full game. It's such a shame how they focused on lighting and the neighbours house, more than the neighbours AI mechanics.

[@tembelssgmod]

can we just talk about the very early gameplay for a sec? that was so cool and would genuinely be so scary, the way he barges in through the window when you lock the door, and also the way the player can move things around like that? itd be so much more scarier if it was finished and textured. i hope someone remakes it.

[@tembelssgmod]

oh yeah, and also the mechanics for the neighbour, he was actually smart and did things to stop you, while i think pre-alpha, prototype, and alpha 1 and 2 were scary, this wouldve topped it. he closes the door, blocks entrance ways, ect. he was actually realistic, this would make the most sense for a horror game.

I liked everything through alpha 2. The pre-alpha was a bit of a disjointed mess when it came to puzzle solving, but showed off the then impressive AI for the house design. Alpha 1 expanded on the house and puzzle solving, creating a large, but still believable exterior, but a world of fun and wonder inside, especially the unknown in the basement. Alpha 2 had a story expansion, and while gameplay wise, this is where things began to take a turn for the worse, the lore admittedly had me intrigued, and I liked the much more realistic approach to the house. Everything after that was just too unrealistic for me to a point where it just wasn't as enjoyable, especially with all the bugs and poor gameplay.

[@wolfychu9398]

Ik everyone keeps saying the early alphas were the best and more scary and I do think that but I also like the way they started to approach hello neighbor transforming it into their own style and story that when u see anything from the game you can say that’s hello neighbor! Not that I don’t love the early versions as they looked more realistic I think what they have now really boosted the games popularity and difference from any other games you’ll see. Also the grafics are becoming much better as they move onto hello neighbor sequels and prequels with better Ai and stuff that really show through pc and Xbox versions of the game :).

[@redguy2lads479]

No man, the game has gone down in popularity. Alpha 2 was literally where the cartoony style started but it still managed to be scary. Now it isn't scary, puzzles are crap, story is crap, graphics look good tho. But still

[@jelly_lori]

but the thing is, you can make a cartoony style, a different style. Like little nightmares, and make it horrific. But they just, lost the horror on the way, the AI in the official release is absolute trash, and I hope they'll fix everything for HN2

[@supremedynamo9451]

Personally, I quite like the game that Hello Neighbor became. I personally do believe it went from a horror to a puzzle game, but I love the puzzle game that it turned out to be. The game certainly was buggy but they must've patched it because I went back and played this game just this year and I barely ever ran into a bug except for the occasional crash that happened during long play sessions, and even when the game did crash, the auto save function would prevent me from losing too much progress. The AI isn't half bad either, it's not pre-alpha levels of insane but it is certainly better than your traditional "chase the player" enemy you see in a lot of games. The Neighbor can set up bear traps and cameras and can notice things like flashlights and things that are askew in his house and become more aggressive as a result. The Neighbor has a routine where he does things that any human would do, like sleeping and using the restroom. Sure the earlier alphas had most of this stuff but that's the point, this is some really cool stuff that they didn't cut from the alphas and is still very present in the full game. I do know that they cut stuff, but the stuff they kept with the new stuff isn't even close to bad, I would dare say it's great. One thing I've noticed is that in a lot of reviews they point out how not scary it is, and no it's not scary and yes they should remove the part of the description where they say it's a horror game, but if you go into it expecting a puzzle game with the occasional little scare, then I think you'll have a pretty good time! It's not a horror game, but that doesn't mean it's not a good game.

[@revivesyourgolder3130]

hello neighbor is a nice example of things you should never do in game devolopment 1. DONT CHANGE THE GAMEPLAY, If your game is about stealth and horror KEEP IT like that, Dont try to fit in things like Platforming or puzzles inside it, because if you do, it will always end up breaking the gameplay core, (LIKE JUST LOOK AT THE ALPHA 1 FLOOR PLANS) 2. Dont change what people like about your game, if people like certain thing about your game, LEAVE IT LIKE THAT, if people like it theres no reason to change it unless you wanna fix something you dont like about it, (LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, DONT CHANGE THE ARTSTYLE DOCENS OF PEOPLE HAVE SAID THEY LIKED, IF YOU WANNA IMPROVE IT, BASE IT AROUND WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE) 3. if your Objective is to make players feel dread and fear, dont give them WEAPONS or ABILITIES to face off against the enemys it breaks the inmersion you are building, which will make people not take the game seriously anymore 4. make the game challenging by actually making a good AI, Not making it horribly tedious by adding nonsensical puzzles, challenge should always be hard or easy depending on the players ability on how to go trought the obstacles, which is the whole point of the games AI, 5. BUILD UP YOUR STORY FROM WHAT YOU HAVE, If you already have a storyline in mind and you feel its not enough, DONT CHANGE IT, EXPAND ON IT, Changing storylines should only happen before or early in devolopment, never in mid or late devolopment, because if you do that you are basically redoing the game from the start and basically wasting time, sigh, im kinda sad of what hello neighbor became, it went from a humble fun cool indie stealth horror game, to a corporative family friendly, childrens mystery game that doesnt take itself seriously anymore, Most of the stuff i have said in this comment also apply to Hello Neighbor 2, Which is simply sad, I simply wish for a hello neighbor fangame that finally sticks out to the orginal ideas, and is fully made and polished, most fangames that try to do this, are either Mediocre, or Dont stick out with the original ideas and visions, and end up being just inaccurate or nowhere as interesting,
