"Hello Neighbor 3: Developer Diary" is a reality-style documentary web series that chronicles the grueling and exciting process of creating an independent survival horror game.
Go behind the scenes of the development of one of the most anticipated and controversial stealth-horror franchises of modern times. Series creator Nikita Kolesnikov, together with a small team from IRG Studios and Eerie Guest, announces the development of the third installment. They decide to embark on a risky experiment: creating the game in a completely open format.
Each episode chronicles the struggle to create the perfect "sandbox" in the gloomy town of Raven Brooks. The developers share behind-the-scenes insights—from early, rough multiplayer prototypes (codenamed RBO) to the programming of advanced AI systems for the town's residents. It is a story about the quest for creative freedom, acknowledging past mistakes, and attempting to build a simulation where every player decision leads to catastrophic consequences.
