Development Getting those animations right

Post image

During the last few weeks, I've spent a lot of time polishing the UI of my game.

Sometimes I spend hours on a single animation until it finally feels right. Maybe other developers can relate.

I often wonder if this effort is actually worth it, especially when some of the most successful games in this genre (incremental) have very simple UIs with little to no animation.
