So those saying about how long it takes, another dev for a game I follow said he works 8 to 12 hours a day, and it takes about a whole day to do 1 - 2 mins of game time, so it is probably the same for how long it takes Runey.
Those saying about the sanctuary girls, if you pick the right options when 0.9 comes out, you get a small bit of background on Nia/Ninja elf, and a decent bit of background on princess elf.
Personally, I feel sorry for Ann she thought her master loved her but seems he didn't.
Nia I can understand she has been though allot it seems and had some bad masters.
Princess elf, well the beta story so far for 0.9 made me understand her better, although she is still a brat, who knows maybe she will liven up, I mean hell thanks to the beta 3 I have cried over Ashely twice and she was a bratty nutcase at the start, so maybe princess will soften up.
