my hello, neighbor! FANGAME early footage

[@BonnieFan69]

current features: microwave with openable door and working levers (not noteworthy otherwise but were a learning experience to impliment) wardrobes doors (with two random closing sounds) locked doors feature a "petyla" aka a lock holder locks/boards garage door working tv radio with handle that moves depending on whether or not it's picked up or placed down (handle has 30% chance to stay up when the radio is placed) garage and tv remotes alarm clock doorbell working flashlight breakable windows lawnmower that makes sound but doesn't move (currently) so far no ambient sounds yet or working ai. honestly so far ive only made basic gameplay features that you'd expect to see in a hello neighbor fangame, but i hope to make it stand out in some way. it's gonna be more or less trying to capture the feel of the pre-alpha only with more features and less crashes lmao also the project is VERY unfinished, it uses some placeholder sound effects i haven't been bothered to change yet. i know the fridge makes the regular door closing sound and the board acts and sounds like a lock. it will be changed the more i work on it, so don't worry.

[@KrystPl]

i told him to do it, and he did 🔥🔥🔥

[@TappyHere]

The main feature I would really like to see is for locks to take time to unlock. This was in the pre alpha and I would like to see it here!

[@Wasplin_Official]

Thank GOD you're tryna make it stand out. Most fangames are good, but basically all of them are the same. It will be a nice change of pace!

Four questions: What will the story of this game be about? What houses will you use, will they have all of the floors? And lastly, will the Neighbors AI be advanced?

[@BonnieFan69]

@@Yellowguy0619 1. not sure, right now im just trying to get simple gameplay down before i think about any kind of story. but most likely i wanna try and recreate bits and pieces of the story from the prototype - alpha 1 era using the story concept and early screenshots 2. either ill use the pre alpha house or my own custom one, i haven't decided yet 3. yes, the final version will. if i make public versions before then it might not but the final version def will 4. i hope so. right now the ai doesn't work but i haven't worked on it much since my first time adding it. im gonna work on making a playable main map first and then worry about the ai. once i get all that done, i might release a pre-alpha👀 4

you should definitely keep working on this!! if you use the prealpha house in the final build maybe expand on all floors? also, later in development add neighbor tasks and stuff like that one trailer, so he can wash dishes, get food, make toast, wash the floor, ect. very good so far and I'm definitely subscribing to stay updated

[@NateEMG]

Great stuff! This is good UE4 training but don't publish a fan game until you have a clear idea of what you wanna do with it and where you want it to go. Otherwise, it can become very messy. I've seen it first-hand with tons of other fan games.

[@BonnieFan69]

@@NateEMG don't worry, im not making this thing public until ive got a good concept for the gameplay and the story. i dont wanna pull a tinybuild and change everything midway through development. i posted this just to give an update on what ive been working on, so the game itself is still a long way from being released publicly

[@nikolaybanev3336]

Very nice progress so far! It would be cool to make it so the neighbor can use the garage door remote to close it, like the DevGAMM showcase. (Also very impressed for the things you did in one week!)

[@BonnieFan69]

@@nikolaybanev3336 i wanna try and do something like that, cause the neighbor is able to open the garage door in alpha 1 (even though its really buggy lmao) but i always thought it was a nice detail that the neighbor can actually interact with parts of his house like that. same with the elevator

[@lekzstart]

the fact that the radio handle has physics blows my mind idk why lmao looks great, i do have a few questions though 1. will this game follow the plot originally planned for HN? the telephone pole, the coma, religious symbolism, etc 2. will the lighting be as close as possible to alpha 1's? ive seen fangames break from the eerie golden sunset lighting and tbh it kind of kills the atmosphere the game is trying to go for imo 3. if they were any flaws in the early alphas you want to rectify, what would they be?

[@BonnieFan69]

1. honestly as of now, im not sure. a certain aspect of the story will most likely include the old ideas; the coma, car crash, bible references, all that. 2. i hope so. i currently am using an updated version of the template that features more accurate lighting, and i think im gonna stick with it until at least the first playable release where i can gather feedback (unlike tinybuild i will actually listen to feedback, i want the game to be as perfect as possible) 3. assuming it would be just changes and not adding new content or whatever, the pre-alpha in my mind is almost a perfect concept for hello neighbor. the only thing id fix would be the graphics (cause it looks like garbage) and the amount of crashes, as well as the neighbor getting stuck constantly. for alpha 1, honestly id remove the train, make the house less colorful, add back the nearby soundtrack, make the ai match the speed of the pre-alphas, make hiding spots work, and revert the traps system back to the pre-alpha's. because i prefered the way the neighbor set up cameras in the pre-alpha. he'd set up one or two in a few places you travel a lot, then remove them after you get caught a few times or move them to another location. in alpha 1 cameras quickly build up and make it way harder to get into the house. which is kind of the point, but id rather they make the ai itself make it harder to enter using more creative methods rather than camera spam. don't get me wrong i still think alpha 1 is way better than the full game but it's more cartoony and kind of a downgrade to the pre-alpha. alpha 1 has more content and is from a gameplay standpoint better than the pre-alpha, but i still prefer it over alpha 1. simply for the ambience and story building. and honestly it felt more like you were sneaking into a random guys house. looking at the pre-alpha house it doesn't look special other than being big. whereas in alpha 1 it kinda stands out a bit.

[@lekzstart]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@BonnieFan69 1. lets go 2. sounds like a pretty good plan 3. the prealpha always looked kind of wrong and i couldnt put my finger on why, and to this day i still cant exactly pinpoint it the trap system was definitely better in the prealpha, one thing i would take away however is him using beartraps as a way to slow down the player during a chase sequence. it doesnt make sense how the player can be ensnared in one for every good throw without it being placed properly on the ground like it should be alpha 1 was always to wondrous and wacky in my opinion, rooms like the classroom and the potential anti gravity and fire rooms would be more alarming and disturbing if the exterior of the house didnt completely sell the idea that the neighbor was completely crazy with the rollercoaster and how rooms are tacked onto it semi-unnaturally. so yeah, adjustments like that would be appreciated

[@BonnieFan69]

@@lekzstart the pre alpha is in 720p and even though it looks bad it still has some charm to it that i sorta like. but yeah the layout of alpha 1 is more unatural and it's obvious something isn't normal. the pre-alpha house doesn't make it immediately obvious. especially with the house variants. it's almost like the neighbor gets more and more unhigned the more you break into his house. with furniture stacked and the red glowing light.
