Relax N_taii is a good man he always releases the new version earlier if we don't leak and we don't want to abuse his kindness.

Proof Of Life #222: Soon...
Hey hey people, here's your favor-... your belov-... your slightly average NTR dev N_Taii with another ominously-titled PoL, most definitely the last one before the first release of the new update. Hope you're having a nice morning/afternoon/ night by the way, and that hearing the release is near is making it at least a bit better.
So, to report on my progress, I've basically finished all the content that's going to be in the update, save for the freeroams that I always do last (I'm aiming for three in this update). The extra scene is done, and Cyanna's scene also, so a good week all-in-all.
I still need to replace a few placeholders with the animations I received, and I'm waiting on a few more that should be here very soon. That doesn't mean I'm done though, as I've got to test the two last scenes, add them to the reminiscence room, then retest the whole update again (but skipping all the text) so I can make sure there's no sneaky game-breaking bugs. Then there's still the walkthrough to fill, add the saves, edit the quest board, etc...
So a bunch of stuff that shouldn't take too long, except for the freeroams that I want to make as interactive as possible. Still, expect a new post with a link to download Update 13 in the next few days.
See you soon : )
Thank you for your patience, thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!

A little late because the update is out haha, but there are still people who like to read the PoL so it doesn't matter.
Honestly, while the scenes are good and the story is progressing well, there's something I don't like, Leto is too passive. In HC2, it made sense because he was a teenager, but now Leto is too old to be so passive and naive.
I feel Leto is a little less naive than Noah, but in a way I would also like Leto to be a little more suspicious considering the point of the story where we are already. Already practically all the girls have had sex with their antagonist, only Lily is missing and it's probably her turn for the next update.

Has there been an estimated total amount of updates for this game? I've been waiting to try it, since I don't want to miss any updates that get added to earlier parts of the game in the later stages of development like I did for HC2, but I'm getting antsy to play it, and I don't know if I'll be able to hold out for too much longer. I expect there to be more updates than the 16 that HC2 had, given that it's a bigger game, but I'm not sure how many more than that it would take.
The game is huge, it takes its time developping the characters and ramping up the tension. I think it's better and more enjoyable to play it little by little, so I wouldn't worry about playing it now. But you do you.

It's not a site of piracy sir. This is a site of sharing, advertising, communication, caring.
A site of sharing (piracy), advertising (games for free which is still piracy even if it gets some people to sub), communication (communicating where to find free games which is piracy), caring (about piracy).

There 've been many creators that they post here their work willingly. And they are very successful 2. There are people here that talks with every npc check every wall. To inform for errors and communicate with the developer.

The best guess we can say right now with no real evidence is "almost certainly more than 20 at this rate", based on how the story is going and because every main story update is followed by a month for Lily's sidequest and then another month for Haylen's sidequest after that. So if we are comparing it to Chapter 2... I feel like it would be more fair to say we are closer to Update 8 or 9, in terms of how the story feels right now.
I would actually be pretty surprised if the game is finished by the end of the year, because if we look at how things have been paced out so far with the development usually taking somewhere around 30-40 days... There would only be enough time left for two more main story updates between now and December.
Update 13 just came out this month — main story
14 in June — Lily sidequest
15 in August — Haylen sidequest
16 in September — main story
17 in October — Lily
18 in November — Haylen
19 in December — main story
I can't speak for Update 13 yet, but going by where 10 left off, it really doesn't feel like we are anywhere close to wrapping things up.

Thanks for the breakdown! I figured it would be at least another year; I think I'll have to try playing it even if it means I'll need to wait for the story to trickle in from then on...
This game is:
A) Way higher quality than the previous two.
B) Paced slower than the previous two.
I recently started replaying HC2 and was surprised at how quickly the main girls start fooling about. It feels like HC3 is at least 50% slower in it's pacing, focusing more on building up a story where the girls happen to get corrupted rather than that corruption being the main focus.
And the developer's attention to detail and desire to ship high-quality maps with each update means that there is no way we're going to get closed to finishing this game this year. Honestly, I think it'll be late 2025 when it's finally wrapped up. A big reason why it feels so slow is that the main quests develop Cyanna and Rose, whereas the side quests develop Lily and Haylen separately. This means every Main Quest update progresses two girls at a time, whereas a Lily update only focuses on one girl, and the same for Haylen.
The good news is again, it means all the girls get a ton of high quality stuff. The bad news is if you don't enjoy a specific girl... You'll be waiting a while. But all good things take time and as the developer wants to release the game on Steam, it means an even higher budget for HC4.

There is absolutely no way that this game will be finished before the end of 2024, NONE, the fact that each ending gets it's own Update alone makes this entirely impossible. We're gonna get 3, possibly even 4 endings for HC3 and N_Taii said that he's not gonna stick to the 1 Update in every 35 days rule and that he's gonna work on each Ending for as long as he needs to, but even if he DID release 1 Update in every 35 days, that would still mean that he would need to wrap up the story and tie everything together by Update15, so that he can add the first Ending in Update16 if he wants to finish the game by Update19.
There's also the fact that he's living in Japan right now and that last year he said that he plans on staying there for 1 year, now he said nothing about moving back so far, which is perfectly reasonable, it's none of our business after all, but if he DOES plan on moving back this year, then just like in last September, we're gonna have a month where N_Taii's gonna be too busy with moving to another continent to make any significant progress workwise, probably to the point where he's gonna pause payments on Patreon for the time being.
My BEST estimate is that we're not gonna see any of the endings before next summer and that's me being generous, and my only reason for thinking that is because Update7 was released in June 2023 and Update14 is going to be released in June 2024, meaning that we got 7 Updates in the last 12 months, so going by that logic Update21 is going to be released in May/June 2025.
If you wanna play the game then i strongly recommend that you do it now, cause you're gonna be waiting for for a LOONG time if you plan on playing only once it's finished, not to mention that the game is probably going to be insanely long by the time it's done, and i also agree with what swaglord said, that this game is much more enjoyable when you play it Update by Update.
