Game
Hello, Neighbor! Reborn
1 month 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

or what about this..? (second design i came up with just now cause why not)

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

absolute lamp

also, detail :)

following this post, development will be slow for a couple weeks. my girlfriend is visiting again so that'll be my priority for the time being. i hope you understand, and ill be sure to keep updating you all as often as i can!

really proud of myself right now :)

interactable toilet. big changes i know!! (note: the neighbor WILL hear the toilet flush, but for the moment he is deaf)

just out of curiousity... what do we think about something like this..? (old look for comparison)

testing around :p

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

question: how do we feel about the neighbor having a stone path instead of a dirt path? (or both?)

also yes im back and development is back hi
