Alpha 1!

"Whoo. After hours of practice, I've finally got it down."

Henry opened up Dream Engine and put his fingers on the keyboard.

"Hello Neighbor doing the Alpha system was actually a great idea. It was a way to update and make the game better while also increasing audience and marketing. I'm gonna start off with Alpha 2, because that's the version that blew up Hello Neighbor. Also, I have to add marketing for the game as well."

'Although Hello Neighbor was an instant success due to the social media community, I don't have that kind of opportunity. I only have 1,000 USD from running the cafe, I'll invest that in advertisement.'

1 hour later

"I'm done. Programming is so much faster and way more efficient now for me, no reason whatsoever I suppose."

Opening up the "Place Edit" of the Dream Engine, made for adding in game purchases, ads, etc., he invested 1,000 USD into ads with a strip of Mr. Peterson looking at you through a window with text above saying "Hello, NEIGHBOR." In bright green text.

He thought about making the game ad based but decided towards making it 4.99$ and keeping it at the same price each Alpha, while adding a button at the very beginning that required you to make a Bloodbath Studios account.

Henry's palms sweated as he held the mouse over the 'Confirm?' button. He made a wry smile. "It's now or never, Henry."
