Hello Neighbor Beta 3 out now: Producers Update

Hey everyone!

I've just posted a Producer's Update in this video:

TL;DR

Beta 3 is now live

  • We just released Beta 3 to everyone who pre-purchased the game on PC
  • We understand the previous betas sucked and there are no excuses for that
  • Beta 3 fixes most of the issues, we spent a ton of time fixing the game after moving to the release codebase
  • Beta 3 contains only about 40% of the game

New launch date is December 8

  • Since we didn't allocate enough time for QA, and had all hell break lose during the first beta, we need to take more time to finish the game
  • We screwed up and don't want to pretend like it's all OK, locking down into a deep crunch until December 8
  • Other options were to release something buggy, or cut content -- both would disappoint everyone

Alpha 2 is now free for everyone

  • Alpha 2 is now available for everyone. You can get it at http://HelloNeighborGame.com
  • If you downloaded previous alphas, you will get an e-mail with a download link
