Hello Neighbor: Alpha 1 Complete Edition
2 years ago

Okay so here's an update about development:


==Ray Tracing==

So I can add ray tracing, but here's the problem, It requires DirectX12, The project currently is using DirectX11, this is because there's a bug in DirectX12 for UE4, That causes animated textures to become white, this is a problem because the TV uses an animated texture for when it's on,

I have 2 choices here, Use DirectX12 and enable ray tracing, but revert the tv back to using a non-animated texture or, Not have DirectX12 support for the demo and keeping an animated TV

I can't upgrade to an newer version of unreal engine, the farthest i could upgrade it is 4.27.2 because UE5.0 is risky and i don't wanna risk corrupting my project, and the DirectX12 bug is still present in 5.0

If i wanna have ray tracing, I will have to make a workaround.

==Neighbor==

The Neighbor is well, The neighbor.

He works, but his AI breaks in some parts of the 3rd floor, I could not fix this bug, It worked sometimes but not others.

This issue is a huge problem, I will have to find a work around for this too.

==Ending==

The Endings i haven't worked on yet due to me not being focused on that, The 1st demo will have a placeholder ending, just unlocking the basement door, And then you get teleported to the placeholder ending, The 2nd demo will have another placeholder ending, I plan for the real ending to be added in 1.0 (the final release)

==The Demo==

The demo has no release date, but I am still working on it,

Also here's what i will add in the final version.

More Story

A true ending

Better Graphics

Improved Menus

Horror Elements (the game at the moment is not very scary)

Soundtrack

Redone Options menu, with multiple pages and tooltips.

Optimizing for 21:9 monitors and controller support

the 3rd floor is coming along nicely!

I edited the neighbor's house mesh, Now it has a extra window in the living room, a extra window in the hallway on 1st floor Another extra window in the hallway, and a extra window in the bedroom.

something?

train station wip (another third floor teaser)

Unused Alpha 1 player with pre-alpha man head, and custom shirt and pants textures, I modified the skeleton to work with nicky's animations.

New Title Screen, did minor changes to ui, but redid the scene itself, also built lighting, so nicer.

reworked player house interior, working on remaking neighbor house interior

if you're wondering why there is no update for a while, that's because i'm saving all of those for the end of the month, so after I have made the 3rd floor's layout, and maybe even the 4th floor, but that'll be revealed on on a specific day...

New Menu,

Differences:

Replaced the background with a much nicer design

Rebuilt the lighting

Replaced buttons with new ones with a custom font

Redesigned UI to be cleaner.

New logo.
