Hello, Neighbor! Reborn
3 months ago

testing out another new concept :p


basically, now when the neighbor does a task; for instance, watching tv, he'll notice that it's not in it's right position, so he'll pick it up and move it back. im fairly certain this is something the neighbor does in later alphas as well (he might do it in the full game? im not sure) but either way, ive begun experimenting with this idea. i figure it'll not only make the game more realistic but it'll give you another way to distract the neighbor without putting him in hunt mode. of course you're relying on him choosing that specific task so it wouldn't be consistant. also ontop of the neighbor's walk speed being increased losing you time. heh. the way i could see this working in the future is if the same item has been moved multiple times, he would eventually grow suspicious and start looking for you. but he would only care about/notice certain objects (tv, radio, toaster etc) but not care about or notice others (mops, buckets, watering cans etc)

i also tested this without him looking around but i thought it made him picking up the tv look odd so i added it in cause why not lol

again this is still in concept (clearly considering its on the test map lol) but things may or may not change down the line...

Next up

was testing out different lightings for fun and im wondering... which of these do we like the best? (5 different lightings with two different angles each so you can compare)

these are not final, im just tryna figure out which direction i should go in

how do we feel about the new lighting so far..?

still not finished yet. still working on getting the sky color and brightness exactly how i want it. but how's it lookin so far?

updated the logo to be a bit darker to fit with the moody atmposphere of the game, what do we think? (old on the right)

absolute lamp

bad news guys, the neighbor lost his job so this will be his house next update

(as a sidenote i have personal beef with whoever did the original uv mapping for this house)

alpha 1 inspired inventory system!! (with the pa placeholder icons cause i haven't imported the actual ones yet lol)

new hnr logo :p

re uvmapped all the background houses so they use hn textures which makes them fit the game a bit more. both the roof and the walls can be changed. i was originally gonna remodel all of them which i still might do at some point. but for now im happy.
