If I remember well, he should be behind his house, east of the map. There is always a walkthrough in the game files in case you're having trouble : )
- Thread starter N_taii
- Start date
if i remember correctly, Elliot is the bachelor counterpart to Leah, and he's got great hair and a chad jawline, so yeah the NTR risk is very real
Oh yeah it was said in the beginning of the game. i completely forgot about that. Thank you very much for reminding and helping me ^^

But if you're curious, here's the contents of my last Proof of Life post (just this once, don't expect me to post it here every time):
Proof of Life #137: Lots of small events, always more story
Heya everyone, how are you doing in this fine summer day(or winter, depending on your location)? For me, I keep working and carry my electric fan wherever I go in my apartment. Thanks to it, I can deal with the heat pretty alright and my work output has been more or less the same as always. But who cares about that? Onto the usual Monday PoL post!
Once again, it is one of those PoLs which don't contain a whole lot of info, since all I do lately is working on the story which I obviously cannot spoil^^
I'm in the middle of developing the major plot event of HC3 that I hinted last PoL. It took a bit longer getting there for 2 reasons:
1. This part of the story needs an awful lot of new maps, which all have to be done in an image editing software to maintain consistency. I've been having a blast with them, especially now that I'm not limited by the RPGMaker very barebones built-in map editor. Still, one edited map takes about 10 times longer to finish than the ones I did in HC1 or most of those in HC2.
If you're curious about what making a map looks like now, you can take a look at the second image for a sneak-peek of the map I'm currently making. See those side stairs? This would have been absolutely unthinkable in a normal map editor. Ignore the language, I still haven't figured out how to set it in English yet, so I have it in French for now.
2. I like to add stuff as I go. This time, I've had a opportunities to add new, unplanned freeroam events/sexy story events, one which you can see in the image above (there's actually a mini-scene leading to those silhouettes you can see in the windows, which helps cement one of the antagonists' personality).
So, while this update will have relatively few scenes compared to its size, it'll have a good amount of small tidbits for scenes and sexy events.
3. I test everything as I develop it. It means more development time, but far, far less spent fixing everything before the release.
As for the art, the main part, the foreground of the banner, is now done. All I need is one more illustration for the middleground, and the background. Also, out of the 4 illustrations to be added to the early game, 2 are done, and the artist told me 50% of the remaining 2 has been drawn already. I also received a few pixel art here and there to improve the game's visuals.
That should be everything for this PoL.
Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!
I would love to see the king beeing ntr'ed as part of a bigger side story as well. The queen seems to be such a hot, milfy, righteous, untouchable, juicy target
I keep my fingers crossedhe surely does. And what the king doesnt know wont hurt him... that is until he finds out..

Any idea how long did HC1 and HC2 take to be made?
And how much more/less time is needed for HC3 compared to the previous two? (doesn't matter either way I just want a prediction)
I would like to play the complete game or else my nuts will explode waiting for the next update
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR WORK

HC2 took roughly one and a half to two years to be completed. I dont know how long HC1 took but I think development time was way shorter.
HC3 will presumably take way longer as the production value has risen greatly. Eg as mentioned by N_Taii map production takes 10 times as long as before. Also there are many, many improvements like way more art assets, different perspectives that need to be handled, he wants to capitalize much more on freeroaming events as well and so on. This will all take some extra time in the development. He's still the same one guy after all. And even though he surely has learned a lot and has way more routine with everything, the work load has risen immensly.
Also I believe that this game is a very special game for N_Taii himself, as he really put tons of effort and resources into the game so far. I think once the fundament is done he wants to capitalize on it for a long time. There is a lot of potential for character development, the background story and setting offer a huge plot and narrative and there are a lot of potential side/extra characters that offer a lot of stories and events that can be explored...
Overall I even hope myself that N_Taii takes his time for this whole set up to be exploited cause I think its fucking damn worth it. I see a lot of potential in this game if its not rushed. And as I know N_Taii he wont rush it. He will take his time to make a very wholesome and fulfilling game and story. He will take the time to squeeze the fruit if I may say
. So you can be really looking forward for this story to unfold. Only downside will be that the production time this time around will be waaay longer.My guess is: At least two and a half years of overall production time (6 month have already gone by, so its 2 years remaining).
So if your not gonna play the single updates and rather wanna wait for the finished game, then you will wait for some time. But it might still be finished before the next Elder Scrolls will be in store
And for people like me who follow the game over its development, each update at a time, we can look forward to the point when the next update is finished, because N_Taii will have finished the fundaments of the game at that point and updates will start to come in on a regular bais (one update per month).
Though those updates will be shorter in length then they were in HC2 I assume, cause the workload will still be way higher. Still they will offer a lot of content, as N_Taii is working really hard and consistent. And I am very happy about all the development you can see when comparing HC1, 2 and 3 with each other. Guys really, HC3 is faaar ahead and one of the best NTR games we will see in the next decade. I am sure of that.
Thanks!Any idea how long did HC1 and HC2 take to be made?

Tbh, I don't have much more to add than what sfoMMA85 has already said, since most of it is correct, if not all. So I will mostly just paraphrase him. HC1's early development started around August of 2019 and was finished, if my memory serves me correctly, around June 2020 (~10 months). As for HC2, development started in July 2020 until January 2022 (~17-18 months).
HC3 will indeed be a huge step forward in terms of quality, but also in workload, which means monthly updates will unfortunately be smaller in terms of content, not only because of the time spent on any new map, but also because of all the smaller additions to the game and all the extra parameters I have to take into consideration when developing and testing the game.
So, while there is one less girl compared to HC2, 4 in HC3 for 5 in HC2, this won't necessarily mean shorter development time. I also want to avoid fillers like the Forest Elves arc in HC2, although this isn't something set in stone. I loved to introduce new characters and settings once in a while. From a developer's perspective, it helps dealing with the monotony that sets in little by little. If I find a good opportunity to do so that also works story-wise, I will.
All in all, I believe sfoMMA85 's guess of 2 years remaining before the end of the game sounds pretty realistic. But please don't quote me on that. This early in development, it is almost impossible to do any precise guess.
I only think that the Forest Elves village map was far too huge for the time players spent there. And thats why I think it was a little waste of time and resources for you.
Most of the time I actually loved the little trips the characters would be doing in HC2 as well as in HC1 and the NTR scenes happening on the way. The change of place and circumstances was a nice and refreshing twist, due to the very special and unique settings and events (e.g. camping, going in the bushes for a pee, ...). Especially in HC1 I loved the field trip they were doing together at the end.
Maybe if you do want to add a new village or town or barn at one point in the game, try to keep those maps small. Sometimes less is more. Like if its a village dont add more then 3 - 4 houses or something and keep them close together.
Btw N_Taii I was just looking into the first version of HC3 again and man do I love the atmosphere in the city. The music, the atmospheric sounds of the insects at night, the lanterns, the the sea at the harbor. There are so many immersive details, I almost wanna leave the game running to feel like I stay there...
And what is with the Magic Shop?? I never realized, but its so much fun to go through there. You can touch everything and everything does something crazy, almost unpredictable and fascinating. It was hilarious and awesome!

Hc2 was a large improvement from HC1 imo so hoping that there will be a jump here? Great catalogue of games so far for this Dev!
I did mention in one of my PoLs over on my Patreon that I spent almost a full week setting up those animations in the magic shop^^ Was it time-consuming? Yes. Is it instrumental to the story? Absolutely not. Did I find it worth it? Absolutely! I actually bought assets for the magic shop, and those animations came with the pack. When I saw them, I couldn't not use them.Btw N_Taii I was just looking into the first version of HC3 again and man do I love the atmosphere in the city.

Did you notice the paintings in the back whose eyes glow red when the MC has its back turned? Or that some of the magical items inside produce different random results when you click on them (namely the book, the chest, and the water cup)?
Anyway, glad you liked it ; )
HC3 should be much more of an improvement from HC2 than HC2 was from HC1. I've already worked on it for over half a year just for the demo, while HC2 took between 2-3 months for the demo to be ready, and I spent thousands upon thousands of $ to improve the graphics, music, and background sounds (moans, etc...) among other things
Also, I might have gotten slightly better at story-telling, although this isn't for me to decide.

So not gonna lie for a bit I’ve though while I enjoy these games they’re kinda dialogue bloated for an eroge, up then I thought about some of the good ones I’ve played like the taimanin games or any other orcsoft/Lilith game and I found myself realizing how great these games are. Either way I digress what I want to say is normally I just play these types of games for the porn y’know but I think the henteria chronicle games are the first to make me actually want to enjoy the story a little, I think I came to the understanding that this isn’t just another ntr or hentai game. Keep up the good work n_taii and here’s to your health for years to come.
Well, the Taimanin games fall under the nukige category I'd say. They're still eroge, but they make it very clear that emphasis is being put on sexual content over story. If you compare them to my games, it's not surprising the sexual content is going to feel a bit lacking^^
I like nukige as well, but for corruption/NTR stories, I believe a nicely laid-out story is absolutely necessary to add flavour to the sex scenes, otherwise it'd feel boring and repetitive pretty fast.
Just tried the HC3 demo and man it's definitely started off great. Huge fan of the maps so far they look amazing. My memory is terrible so I don't really remember what the audio was like in HC2 but I really love the audio in this game so far adds a lot to the experience. Especially in a story-based game that needs world building. Big fan
