I'm thinking of scrapping the prototype build


TL;DR: Prototype has bugs, switched templates and renamed the current prototype to an early prototype.

I'm thinking of scrapping the prototype build and changing templates.

The reason for that is because the prototype build is bad, like really bad. It doesn't even have the features I had promised (Only a rigged and animated mannequin and some of nicky's animations)

The project has some bugs. When I throw an item I immediatly drop the one it switched to (I don't know how to fix it), the shovel's collision is bad. And some other things.

It doesn't help that I'm starting to like the original game's prototype build.

So, I'm gonna switch templates.

The template I'm gonna use is the template "Hello Neighbor: UE4 Reborn"

I had given the template a try a couple of months ago.

And I actually liked it, but I insisted on doing everything from scratch using Owen's template. I revisited it a couple of weeks before I made this page and I had even made some test games with it.

The prototype build is going to be renamed to "early prototype" and I'll use the new template. Aswell as scrap everything on the early prototype build and switch to a more Announcement Trailer approach. I'll develop the game on my own pace and make the new mechanics, I already thought of a new storyline.

I'm gonna scrap the nicky player model and use the pre alpha man as it's easier to code. I'll use the prototype house and remake the main map.

I'm gonna release a gameplay of the prototype build on my channel "HNAlphaEnjoyer" and when I have time I'll release it.

Edit: Added a screenshot showing what month I first tried the template

Next up

I'm testing a new concept :)

Here's how the base map looks!

(Note: things may change, it still isn't finalized, I'm trying to get feedback on the lighting.)

Oh boy I sure like to turn off my neighbor's power off!

(btw I just worked on the game for 2 hours straight)

👀

Testing with light bulbs :)

(The code is probably bad, I still need to research a better way of doing this)

Last screenshot for the day, gonna keep working on the game tomorrow.

Btw i'm thinking of modifying the hn hide and seek neighbor model for the pre alpha man.

The game is barebones

Finally adding idle tasks for the neighbor

I got the player house area to work after months of trying.

Hey guys, sorry. I haven't been working on the game, I started having a burn out from Hello Neighbor.

So with I'll pause the game for a bit until I feel like working on the game again.
